I recently came across a website (I lost the address) and it was interesting.
Really nice Caddies for sale with lots of excellent high quality hi-def photos.

A guy contacted me about a car and wrote a huge paragraph. He said he was out of the country but that
the sale money will be held by a holding company while I took delivery of the car. They said I had a 1 week garuntee of satisfaction or I could send it back.

Low prices for super nice Caddies.
Didnt make any sense.

That's most likely the same guy that I went back and forth with a few months back. He said that the dealer wouldn't accept a cashiers check for the car and would only do a wire transfer. I contacted my credit union and the loan officer told me that they wouldn't do a wire transfer of any type because of the likelihood of it being lost to a scammer. I was already suspicious of the guy the more I thought about it. After I sent him a message that my credit said they wouldn't do a wire transfer, I never heard from him again. The car was selling for $17,000 and was looking like it was in mint condition. It looked like it had just been completely rebuilt complete with a frame off, but the selling price for it seemed way too low. That was the first red flag.

"Too good to be true, NOT TRUE."  These internet auto sales scams started 25 years ago... always involving you, the purchaser, sending liquid funds to a stranger who has posted pictures and a narrative of a beautiful car on the web.
