Selling cars on racing junk - scamming

[Ian Hill]

I have placed my second car for sale on racing junk (2000 firebird stocker) and am up to 5 guys trying to pull scams through paypal. All callers are out of California, all want to pay through pay pal, that need a "verified"account, so this means an account tied to a credit card, so if you scam them they can lock up your account and credit card until they get their money back.

the last two guys wanted to send $1750 extra, over the price of the car i am selling to cover frieght. as soon as the money comes in they want you to forward the money to a frieght company of their choice. then i asume once the money is transfered theyd back out of the deal and go through some paypal deal where theyd get their money back. this third guy tried it today, i was just going to keep his $1750, i got three credit cards so F him! I cant beieve these jack asses. Pretty clear who they are, email only, or text only and have no clue about the class they are buying the car for. i have sold many cars and have yet bought or sold any car without calling and talking to the owner.

the last two guys were named Dave, one had a 241 area code and todays was 801, but both came across my phone as from California. both textd me and niether would answer their phone when i called.

Sorry for the bs session, just frustrating. its hard enough dealing with all the guys that want to trade let alone thining you finaly have someone with cash only to find out is the same old $1750 transportation scam.

Be for warned.
