This a Scam ?

[WantaTTSupra]

This is the E-Mail this guy sent me

Hello again,

The car is located in Stockton, New Jersey but don't worry because the car can be shipped to your location without any extra costs for the shipping cause are included in the final price. I recently moved with my family and now we are in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Since I lost my job and I didn't found one here yet,I have to sell this car as soon as possible and due to the fact that this car is an US model the price to register it here is very high,also the shipping to this place, so I've decided to sell it in US at a price that will find a buyer in a few days .

I have the car locked up in my garage in US.As I've said the car is in perfect mechanical and esthetical condition.The price that I'm looking for it is 5990 USD ( this price includes shipping and handling ) .As soon as the payment will be made I will take a plane to US and take care of things.

For safety reasons I think that the most important thing when we make a deal over the internet,is to have both of us 100% protection in case of fraud or anything else.
That's the reason why I used a big,reputable,trustable company, SquareTrade, in all my deals until now.

I am a SquareTrade Seal Member and I want to make the deal thru them. They will act like a THIRD PARTY and we will be both 100% protected.The money will be HELD by them into their secure escrow account and I will give you 5 days to test the car and to see that nothing is wrong with it.I made few deals on AutoTrader and eBay in this way and it worked very well.

Here are the steps of the deal :

1.The Seller will open the transaction --> 2.The buyer has to make the payment to SquareTrade Financial Department and they will deposit the money into their secure escrow account --> 3.The Seller will receive the confirmation that the payment is done --> 4.The seller will ship the item to the buyer and he has 5 days to inspect it -->5.The buyer will contact SquareTrade and will notify them if he is satisfied or not --> 6.SquareTrade will release the money to the seller(in case the buyer is satisfied) or will refund the buyer(in case he is not satisfied).

In case you have any question about how this service work,please ask me and I will be more than happy to give you all the details.So,please read this email twice and let me know.I hope you agree with me,because I think that it is the best way to protect both(seller and buyer).

If so,please provide me your full name and shipping address so i can contact SquareTrade and start the transaction.

Just email me back and let me know

sonds like a tipical scam....!!!

[suprafann]

its a scam for sure, ive researched a lot, at one point of time i was like wow 5000-10000 for a "good condition supra".

what tells em this is a scam, first hes not in the US, i have looked at about 20 supras, and guess what all of them int hat price range the seller now lives outside of north america.

Second ive contacted square trade and they DO NOT ACT LIKE A THIRD PARTY ESCROW. Its pretty much a money transfer liek western union. The process he described is a escrow.com process.

Unless you can physically go see teh car, dotn bother cause yoru moeny will never get recovered

If you go to like autotrader and find this in your area. Then go and do a nationwide search and there will be like 15 posts for the same car all in different locations. That is kinda a tip to that they are trying to screw you to.
