Is this scam? looking to buy car in Manitoba
 
I have been looking around to purchase one of the following cars... RX7, supra turbo, integra type S. So I found this supra in Manitoba and the people selling said to offer them a price. I asked how much are you asking for, and he respondes.

1,000,000,000,000% scam.

Plates? VIN? Registration? Existing Ebay listing? Don't bother.

Scam. Pictures have no license plates for one, and since when do we use titles in Canada?

"$4000 is a steal"

LOL

^ It is a steal! ;)

I see they will ship the car free of charge and you don't pay until after you're happy with it.


umm...Only thing I can say is "if it seems too good to be true it probably is."That email chatter also makes me wonder if you actually ever initiated with them or they discovered you were looking for a car and are baiting you.


RUN......

anything too good to be true probably isnt true. definitely seems like a scam to me though

and is that thing automatic?

It is 100% a scam. if you're bored, play along with it and ask for VIN.

murd0c 10-03-2009 12:40 AM

Yeah, ask for video's of it running, and walking around the car. Gonna mess up the scammers real bad, bet they're going to try and find a video on youtube that looks like that supra.

Play along and see if he can wire you $50 or something so you could "trust" them

StealthFighter 10-03-2009 01:27 AM

just bait the scammers into giving you a picture of them holding a paper with your username on it. screw with em.

InvisibleSoul 10-03-2009 01:31 AM

If it was real, it'd be gone already.

In case you suffer from retardation of the eyes, the massively huge disclaimer on Craigslist about ALL OFFERS TO SHIP CARS ARE 100% FRAUDELENT is true. I suggest you punish yourself for ignoring this..
