Selling Car Fraud

FacebookXReddit

I’ve started this category to make people aware of various means of scamming car owners, when selling their vehicles.

The general idea is this:

  • Someone will contact you, after seeing your advert.
  • They will seem interested, and sometimes ask for more pictures etc…
  • After some “haggling” they will aggree to buy your car at your asking price (or very near)
  • They will then send you the “terms” – Basically, they claim to be a used car dealer, and the shipping merchant they will be using to ship your car from your house to their premesis owes them money.
  • You are to receive a payment for an amount, many thousands more than you will get for your car, and send the difference somewhere else (this is the scam)

The payment never arrives, and you’re left thousands out of pocket, or, if it does arrive, its a false cheque (which clears first, then the bank take it back)

I will add as many email addresses and emails as I get to this category – so that google has something to get hold of (for all those sensible googlers out there who search portions of the email / email address first)

    Here is the F****’s number…let’s all call him over and over…

    FINE, I AM A BUSINESS MAN, I BUY CAR’S ALL OVER CANADA AND U.S. AND SHIP THEM OVER SEA’S FOR SALE. MY COMPANY IS LICENCED HERE IN CANADA AND I HAVE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARS NOW.. DOES THE CAR HAVE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE PROBLEMS? IF “NO”, EVERY OTHER LITTLE FAULT I CAN FIX MYSELF. I KNOW BUYING A CAR, THERE MUST BE ONE OR TWO THINGS I WILL NEED TO FIX BEFORE SHIPMENT.

    BUT I DONT THINK I WILL BE ABLE TO COME TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAR RIGHT NOW, I AM A BIT BUSY THIS PERIOD. BUT I WILL BE ABLE TO SEND YOU THE PAYMENT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I AM A SERIOUS BUYER. I WANT TO SEND YOU A CHEQUE FOR THE PAYMENT RIGHT AWAY WITH FEDEX. AS SOON AS THE CHEQUE CLEARS, YOU WILL INFORM ME THEN I WILL MAKE OUT TIME TO COME PICK UP THE CAR. IF YOU ARE FINE WITH THAT PLEASE SEND ME:

    (1) THE NAME YOU WANT THE CHEQUE TO BE WRITTEN ON.
    (2) THE ADDRESS I SHOULD MAIL IT TO.

    PLEASE SEND ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER. THIS IS MY PHONE NUMBER 1-647-890-2053. I AWAIT YOUR REPLY, THANKS.

    I suspect the number is a skype-in (or similar service) number, that redirects to a number in Nigeria – most of them do!

    you’re best off just taking it to the police, not that they will do anything.
    If you bank it… it will clear, then be taken back a few days later, for being a forgery, or stolen etc…

    Hi, I got the same emails, apparently the name is now Kelly Rothmas. Same phone number, word-for-word emails.

    hey! i just posted an ad on Kijiji Canada today, and received a response from Kelly Rothmas. When I replied looking for more information, I received an e-mail almost identical to the one listed above. So, he’s obviously around, and obviously playing these games.
