my response:


1.) Write me back with a VALID phone number to reach you at that is NOT a 800 number. A house number will be needed for contract purposes as well as validation of name/address/shipping location.
2.) Visit www.braeger.com and fill out the finance application so that we have all your information to put down on the contract.

I will not remove ad until I have this information AND have personally talked to you.

Chris

My Response:

Well,

Just called up to the GSM and there is someone looking at it right now, so unless I have a perfectly working phone # that you can be personally reached at, I can't tell them it's sold. Never had a problem with the 5 Corvette's I've sold over the internet to customers in other states. I just like to talk to the person, you know.

Sorry if this is old news...what exactly is the scam? I know that this is definitly a setup but can you fill me in on exactly how these guys pull this off? A co-worker had a very similar response to an ad she placed in the auto trader. Thanks,

It is the Nigerian Scam. I have sold 2 cars on the net in the past few years. One I sent an E-mail back saying I was the FBI and I knew where the e-mail was coming from and they would be arrested within 24 hrs :rolf

They send you some fake check that never clears. I guess some people are dumb enough to give the person the car for the check without it clearing?

If you get any kind of email like this DO NOT go thru with it! WARN HER, so she doesnt get scammed!

Honestly who pays more for a car and then asks for the difference back? :(

Only brain dead suckers fall for that one. My friend 2 years ago was selling his 99' Eclipse GSX on the net, some loser contacted him with the exact same scam.

The way it works is, they send you a phony cashiers check, you take it to your bank, cash it, and have another check made up for the difference and send it back to the scammer ( except if your that dumb you think it's legit) and your eventually scammed out of the difference and the check he/she sent you is found out more than likely the next day to be found fake.

I cant belive people fall for it. Whatever happened to doing business face to face? :confused :confused
