summertan2020 asked:
this is email i got becouse i want to buy his car?and wrong#?Hello,
Sorry for this late reply but I was unable to check my e-mail until now also I have been overwhelmed by the number of emails I got from interested buyers after listing the car on Autotrader, Yahoo! Autos and Autoextra. The car is in good running condition and comes with a clear title, NOT salvage. It's a non smoker car with zero mechanical / electrical problems, no damages or accidents.
There is a reason for selling it for such a low price but it's just something personal that has nothing to do with the car's condition and I'm not willing to discuss it so please don't ask.
The only problem is that I'm currently stationed in Camp Bucca, Southern Iraq and I can't close the deal in person. I know you can't buy a car just by looking at pictures but that's why I've decided to use Yahoo Auto services. I had nobody back home that could help me with the sale so I've left the car at the Yahoo Autos Depot.

If they emailed YOU, it's probably a scam.
Scam emails all tend to start the same way. They apologize for not getting back to you sooner about something. Or their rich dad needs to get all of his money out of Nigeria and he has picked you to be the person who holds his fortunes in America. All he needs is all your bank account info.

There IS NO Yahoo Autos dept. This is a classic scam. Stay away and do not reply any further to them. There also is no Yahoo Auto services. They just do that to make it sound legitimate.

Most likely a scam.

Most Common Signs of Fraudulent Practices:
1. The vehicle's price is too good to be true. …
2. Seller claims to be located outside the U.S.A. …
3. Seller desires to use Yahoo! endorsed or a third-party service to broker the sale of the car.
Please note that Yahoo! Autos does not take possession of users' vehicles, we do not work with agents, and we do not work with money transfer agencies, so please beware that any communication you receive stating that Yahoo! Autos does use these services, as it is a misrepresentation. We advise buyers against sending online payments to sellers without meeting the seller or seeing the vehicle in person. Again, we strongly encourage buyers to see the vehicle, meet the seller, and complete any transfer of any payment in person.

If you do not have any family or friends back at home that could look over the car for you before purchase, you might be able to find another Prius owner nearby that may be able to look over the vehicle for you… Or at least you can get some better purchasing advice from other Prius owners…

Yes this is a scam but I have a car I want to sell you. Just wire me the money and I'll deliver it to your house.
Thank you,
