Welcome to Scamwarners Flojo,

The scammer does not want your vehicle. He wants to steal your money. There is no shipper or mover, just the scammer pretending to be all parties. The scam works by sending you a fake Paypal payment, fake check or money order. He will pretend to send more than the asking price for the vehicle. The scammer will instruct you to pay the mover/shipper with the fake over payment. You will be asked to send the money via Western Union or Money Gram.

He will send a fake Paypal email stating that your money is on hold until you prove that you sent money to him/shipper/mover. The real Paypal will not hold your money.

If he sends a fake check/money order your bank may cash it. Weeks later you will be notified of the bad deposit. You will have to repay any monies withdrawn. The bank may even close your account and notify Law Enforcement about the fraud.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.
