Be aware that there are some Internet scams going around regarding car sales. See the following example from www.thesamba.com. There is a list of known names/email addresses and sample emails for scammers listed on The Samba website at www.thesambaforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=253.
Multiple people have been contacted from buyers
involving a common scam.
Example:
• Your VW is for sale for $3000.
• The buyer wants to have his friend, business partner, or employee send you
$6000 because his friend or business partner owes him $3000.
• You are supposed to cash his bank check for $6000 and then send the
remaining $3000 to the buyer.
• DO NOT DO THIS! It is a scam. You deposit the check and then send the buyer
the extra $3000. The bank check either bounces or was a forgery and you lose
your $3000.
Similar scams involve:
• The buyer sends you the cost of your VW + the cost of shipping. Later,
they say they have taken care of shipping and ask for you to refund the money. They keep your refund and the original bank check is rejected.
Be cautious, wait for checks to clear if you are dealing with someone you do not know, and research anything that may seem suspicious before you commit.
