I've heard of someone advertising a car at a ridiculously low price, ask for money up front and disappear. Or they ask you for a check for a larger amount than the value of the car "to help out his brother" and promise to pay you back the full amount so that you can have the car for "free". Of course, you never see the car or your money again. "Caveat Emptor" - let the buyer beware.

don't respond to ads like that. That will only get you a bit of annoyance, and being put on a bunch of crap spam lists.

Oh ya scam written all over it...
why not continue your conversation with him... ask him how he would want the payment etc. and stop there.... i am sure he will ask you to wire extra dollars to his account and then he will say i will wire the difference back to you....

this is surely a scam... but continue your talks ... just so that it becomes a learning experience for people on this board.

Definitely a standard scam. Another key to spotting a scam is when they say they have their own shipping company that will handle the shipping. I have bought and sold many items where I have run into these characters. Unfortunately, they are not in the States and catching them is pretty much impossible.

well most def its a scam....cause first off why not sell in NY and not have to pay for shipping and keep even more money?...also some times its true....one of my friends i know had a brand new BMW M3 and sold it for $4,000..he had gambling debts to clear up, so it could be true. But wanting to sell it all the way in TX?

thats a way to fishy
