He contacted me about a car I had for sale and asked me to pay him $800 first because he was able to pay the transporter. When I said I didn't have the $800 I never heard from him again.
This is a variation of the Nigerian sell-your-Timeshare scam. How crazy is that? They ask the SELLER to pay. The seller NEVER pays, he SELLS. It's just a plain old advance fee scam.
Person contacted me on a car I had for sale on EBay, wanted to offer 27,000 for a car that has a starting bid of 22,000 and will pay through PayPal. We don' t know if it was a scam and not willing to find out.
