Default Re: European auto brokers

The way the Nigerian Scam works is they send you cashiers check for a few $1000 over your selling price. They tell you to send the extra $ to someone else to take care of the shipping. Most people don't think twice about depositing the cashiers check in their account and sending the extra money to the address the scam artist supplied. A couple weeks later your back tells you the cashiers check is a fake. You are out the money that you sent to the third person. No one ever shows up to pick up your car. A guy on another site I go to just posted something about this scam yesterday. He has a motorcycle for sell for $800 and they offered to send him $3800 with the $3000 extra to cover shipping.
