6 Speed S4 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 So I have a guy wanting to buy the range rover. He texted me saying he wants it but said he lives out of state, wants to pay paypal and take care of the 3% fee. He said he has someone to pick it up. I told him I will not accept and e-check on paypal since I've heard they can be fraudulent, I told him I wanted cash only first. He said his only payment option is paypal? So is this guy trying to scam me through paypal or is this legit? Sounds kinda scammish but I've never sold a car online using payal unless it was ebay motors. Also I said he could mail a cashiers check and once it cleared the bank I'd let go of the car, but hes saying paypal only..... If this isnt a scam should I do a bill of sale first or just tell him to make payment through paypal and transfer it to my bank, once cleared, move forward? Seems like a scam but, thanks in advance.

mmrmnhrm Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 If it smells like a scam, and your scamdar is going off, it's a good bet you're being scammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinwebb Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I wouldnt go through paypal, working in the fraud dept at chase I see lots of fraudulent transactions with paypal. Cashiers check from a reputable bank or cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Im thinking scam more and more, scamdar is going off lol. He asked me to get back with him with my full name and paypal address. I asked him for his full name and adress before anything. Someone should run a background check on this person if they are a real person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Even a cashiers check can be forged these days. Cash, or wait till the check clears to transfer title and hand over the keys. You can give them a receipt if they are worried about being scammed themselves.

6 Speed S4 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Ha getting even funnier - He said his "name is Dillion Eddy" and he didn't give an address. Then says "Only paypal. Im not here for kidding." SO I said "Guess no sale then. I will only accept cash or cashiers check once cleared at a bank I can release car and title. If you can do paypal you can do a cashiers check, if not sorry not selling it to you. Plain and smiple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Some faggot tried to pull the same shit with me years ago when I was selling a truck. He was some shady hillbilly cock sucker named Kumar Lambert from Elkins, WV. He found my craigslist ad, kept saying "I can only do paypal" and wanted me to list the truck on ebay so he "could buy it without me scamming him" and all kinds of BS like that. He wouldn't take no for an answer so I told him to go fuck himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
