I am always searching the ads for the current prices of C5's. Found this ad and I am finding it to good to be true. I think it is a scam, but can anyone tell me what they think about the ad. Here is the link for the ad ----> http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...rivatePartySIY

 

probably a misprint

 

Well the phone number listed in the as is for the Chamber of Commerce fax line in Palm Beach

Fax: (561) 833-5582

Only one way to find out is to go see the car. Does seem to be a very, very low price for the car.

But at first glance, I'd say be wary of that one.

 

 

Doesn't look right. Is too good, is probably not real

 

SCAM

The car is for sale in 3 different States (CA, FL, & Az) with 3 different phone numbers and 3 different names.

Do a search of the U.S. You will see all the ads with the Same picture.

Next...

 

That is too good to be true.

 

Thats for all the help. It is definitely a scam. All forum members, beware of this ad.

 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
I contacted the party listed on the ad via email and asked for the VIN,after some hesitation to provide the number they finally sent me the message below.
I think the VIN is BS.

Hi Dale,
Here is the vin:1G1YY22G4Y5115368.The car is at the shipping co. in Jefferson City,Mo sealed and ready to ship it,as I got a new job and moved here to start over.I've signed up with PayPal so the payment will be submitted via their services. I'm very busy with my job, so I can't meet you in person,reason for why I chose to sell my car online.
If you want to continue,I will need your name&address. After I receive your info, I'll forward it to PayPal and they will send us both invoices. PayPal will instruct you on how to make a refundable payment. They hold the funds until the car is delivered to buyer, inspected and until he confirms that has received the car in it's described condition. You will have 5 days to decide if you want to keep it, and if PayPal should release the money to me or not. If for any reason you won't like the car (I don't see that happening) PayPal will refund you and I will instruct the shipping co. to store the car until I find a new buyer. It's not necessary to ship the car back. If you want to buy it,please send me your info so we can proceed.

Here is a number where you can reach me 573-298-4807


The contact name on the ad is Kevin,but when I got the first email it was a she who just got divorce and had no drivers lincese.


Here is the first email from RITA email: rita.lorens@comcast.net

Hi Dale,

Thanks for being interested in buying my car! It`s in perfect condition,no scratches,damages, never been implicated in any accidents, it has only 28,903 miles and the price is $5,600.It has a clear title, free of any liens or loans. Because of my divorce settlement,i own this car and as a woman without driver`s license i don`t need it so i`m trying to get rid of it as soon as possible (that`s why i`m selling it so cheap). We will use PayPal for our protection, i want only legit transactions. Let me know where are you located,maybe we can organize an inspection.
Have a great day!


What the VIN on it?

 

MO, AZ, CA, & FL. My, that car gets around.

Bet the "seller" is writing from Nigeria.
