I have a car on sale in Autotrader. Two almost identical scams occurred. First a guy said he will buy it for the full asking price. Said he'll send me a few thousand dollars more than the asking price but asked me to deposit the difference to his account first. Am I dumb or what? When I replied he is not getting a cent from me without me seeing the money first, silence ensued. The second guy, claiming to be a Reverend buying the car for his church, has an email address based in the UK, doing a similar trick. Now why would anyone buy a beat up 86 BMW in the US and ship it across the pond to drive on the wrong side of the road?
