HI well the e-mail from the guy is : rick.martin21@hotmail.com but yesterday i recive anther 2 messages form 2 another cars and the text has a similitude well the other 2 emails are: riccardofabbrica@yahoo.it, robertocechavarria@yahoo.com and i will put the image of the passport and thanks everybody

[lightfair]

Thanks.

The scan of the passport is well-known; I have at least two other scans of this very same passport wih different names.

(It might happen that the admin deletes the link to the scanned passport because this scan could probably be used for other illegal purposes as well.)


Anyway, I'm glad you did some research before sending any money. As far as I can see the fake escrow site has already been suspended.

SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!!!! I almost "bought" a car fom someone claiming to be going to the same place. The e mail I received was identicial to yours, just different car. If you can not talk to the person on the phone or in person don't even bother.

julie76:

Well spotted; it's one of the typical scams.

I've taken the liberty to remove your own email address from your posting to prevent it from getting harvested by spambots.

Hi there
I found an ad on a common buying/selling website (www.dubizzle.com) widely used in our area for a comparable cheap BMW X6. I contacted the guys via the website where he returned an email saying if I accept the price, I have to deal with Balearia Eurolines (www.baeul.com) and pay 50% downpayment to that company (refundable if the purchase was not agreed). I was really suspicious and I said yes out of curiosity. The company contacted me and they gave some invoice and a valid bank account number as per the below. Please check the below 2 emails.
