wanted to buy a car but got a strange story

  by lusso
 
Hi all,

Some time ago I saw an interesting car for sale and contacted the buyer. After a while he contacted me with a strange story of his life and telling me that the car is still for sale. But now it is not in Italy, but in Spain but he will pay all the costs for shipping.

His name is Miguel and his email adress is [email protected]...

Does this ring any bells?

Hello lusso,
That is a typical scammer story to explain why you can not see the vehicle before sending him money. The car does not exist for the scammer is using stolen / copied information. Never send money for an auto without an in person inspection.
Just ignore this scammer.
