If he's got the Money Gram receipt, doesn't he have access to the money at that point?
He's got the receipt, he's got the car(supposedly). What do you have?
SCAM for sure! Just a different twist!
DON'T DO IT!
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

Here's the e-mail reply from the guy with the '69 for sale.
Hi,
The car is in MI. The car is available and it's in excellent condition, clear title.
The price is is $8,000 . To buy it you have to make proof of funds and i will come with the car at your address.
For making proof that you have the money i propouse you to make a Money Gram transfer for the $4,000 to a relative or a friend of yours that you can trust in and send me the Money Gram receipt, i wil verify with MG if the funds is really there and if it is i will come with the car at your address, see the car , if you decide to take it we will go to MG together, take your money back from them, we make the papers, pay me and the deal is closed. What do you say?
If you will not be happy with the car i will come back with no obligation for you and give you fees that you would have to pay for making the transfer.
Thanx
Robert
P.S. You can find a MG location close to you here:http://www.moneygram.com/eFindUs/fin...anguageCode=en

I'm not even clicking the link he provided, but I know it's a not a real site, just a link to his site. You put in all your info to make a sale thinking its a legitimate website but the reality is it just looks like the official one. When it's finished it sends you to an actual web page from that company but he already has all the info he needs to buy as much crap as he sees fit.
For those that have never heard of this type of thing, NEVER EVER put personal info in a site that you get to from a link. ALWAYS go to the original site itself and navigate to the necessary page. It might be a pain, but it's the only way to guarantee that you won't get taken by one of these scams.
An example would be someone requests payment from PayPal. They send you a link to login. You click it and the login page for PayPal appears. You login and and are now at a PayPal page to do as you please. What has actually happened is that you were sent to a fake login page that has been setup to look like the real deal. You put in your user name and password and the fake page saves that info, then actually logs you into PayPal and you are now actually logged into the real PayPal site, non the wiser that you just gave away your account.

That or "I'll be paying in cash. When you get here with the car and I've decided to purchase it, we will go down to Kinko's together and make the money to pay you."

Here's his latest reply !
Hello,
My mistake and i apologies, ihave two houses, 1 in PA and one in MI, when i registered i used my credit card that i have it on PA and i thought i have to use the same address, i will change that, sorry.
Some of the major component numbers:
VIN # 194679S707606
Engine Pad T1104LQ 19S707606
Block cast # 3963512
Transmission date code P9S06
I made my proposal in such a way for you to feel safe and i see that you are not and i don't understand why because you are not going to send ME the money, i propoused you to make a transfer to a friend or to a relative of yours and then send me the receipt, all i can do with it is to verify if the funds is there, thst's all, if money gram confirms that i am going to begin the trip with the car at your address (meanwhile you can take your money back from money gram while i am road). When i will be there you can decide if you take it or not after verification of papers and everything, if you want we can go to the police, anywhere, if you decide to take it we will make the papers, pay me and that's it. If you decide not to take it i will return back home with no obligation(s) for you.
Does this sound fishy to you, i think not, it's a decent proposal. Please let me know what you think.
Thank you!

ANSWER: Yes it does. Why not just drive the car over to the bank, if it is what you said it is, then we can do the deal at the bank, and you will have the money, I will have the car. Lets see. Send the money to a friend, in this case $4000. So the person knows that there is $4000 cash someplace. Then lets go there, where he will rob you, and take off.
Something is strange with this story.
