Is this website a fraud ? please help.

Postby CLOUISE » Tue Feb 16, 2010 3:52 pm

Hi,

I was looking into buying a car from an advert I found on Autotrader. However the advert got taken off, but the guy is still selling the car. He told me he has recently moved to Italy from the Uk with work and so needs to get rid of the car A.S.A.P. even though he took it to italy he is selling it in UK. So he is going to send the car through a shipping company back to the Uk. He has given me a website which I need to register, so he can send the car to me through this shipping company. The website is http://www.cardelivery-company.com

Could anyone please help to advise me on if this website is fraud or not as I am unsure.

Kind Regards
CLOUISE

Yes, it's a scam. "The guy" is the scammer himself. Please post the details (especially the email address used) here. I'll add the site to our database.

Check out on more of such sites: http://servicebristol-24.co.uk. Does it remind you anything? Pay closer attention to the texts starting with "Internet fraud cost victims millions of dollars each year...." and "Since 1987 our company has been more than a shipping company, is a company built on integrity...". It's just copy/pasted from one site to another. Like this scumbags cloning those sites just changing design slightly, using the same content.
I've got this site in answer for my car information inquiry on http://www.autoscout24.de. BTW, the car also was in Italy, but selling company is in GB.

Yes, the scammer use the same layouts over and over, including certain variants of them. The design for http://servicebristol-24.co.uk/ is notorious; see http://escrow-fraud.com/index.php?page=gallery&layout=2 for a number of entries; or see http://escrow-fraud.com/index.php?page=gallery for a collection of frequently used designs.

http://servicebristol-24.co.uk is already history; thanks to the quick reaction of the hoster.
