Scams ??
My hubby is selling his car (wahey) and has advertised it online. The first day of advertising he got an email from Spain in very poor english asking about the cars condition and showing interest in shipping it etc. staight away I said it's one of those scammers I bet they offer to give you twice the amount and you pay them back the rest ... sure enough this evening another email arrived offering a cheque for almost double the asking price for him to forward the remainder to them ??? I know it's a con but how does this work is it money laundering or are they trying to get your details or what??
How stupid would you have to be to think that some stranger was going to pay you thousands for a car they haven't even seen and they also trust you enough to give you a cheque for double the amount
