Somebody going to by my car through pick up agent.... how do I trust?
By kumudu2012 •
A person willing to buy my car by doing the payment through Paypal. According to him, he will send money first and he is sending a "pickup agent" to collect the vehicle and I have to transfer vehicle to him. I'm a bit confused!!!
Does anybody have a expireance like this?
Hello,
SCAM! Period! Do not entertain this guy. I had the same back in Ireland 8 months ago. I googled the key words in his email and up came 100 different hits for the identical email from other concerned sellers. They all had the same theme, worked off shore, usually a marine engineer, had no access to internet so couldnt transfer money via online banking, wanted to buy car for a son as a surprise, bla bla bla, all a fraud. I understand if you are trying to sell it might be tempting to think he is genuine, but if his emails have a similar theme to my post do not part with your money nor your car. They often ask you to pay the agent also, like maybe 1500 riyal when he arrives to view the car. They say that they will add 1500 QR to your asking price and pay you back that way, even if they dont get the car they got your 1500, so beware.
It's a scam. Don't do it.
Try reading thisAvoiding Scams and FraudThen take a decisionBy the way this is the first time I hear of somebody buying as car and making a payment through Paypal. Usually those transactions are donde face to face and in cash.Now it's up to youRegards!!
in paypal he can still cancel the transaction online within a week, so if you do it you will be in trouble.
do not go for it till u get the money. + do not bring money in your personal AC, ask him to give you money by the person who is going to get the car from you, let the guy bring money for you, pay on the spot, go to maroor and change the car under his name on the same time. if he is not willing to do that then dont put yourself in trouble ....
Dear friend be careful this is a trap. Dont transfer the car until you receive hard cash.
