Most scams rely on a false time pressure mechanism or need to keep the deal secret.

Found that pretty interesting as it was running in a local newspaper classified section. I played along and she said that she was visiting someone in the area, the car is located in the Carolinas she said, so I told her I was in the area shortly and I would bring the cash upon inspection she said no can do and I would have to wire the money to some account. VERY slick
