Says she/he whoever it is has a 2005 Acura for 2300. That their is a third party Amazon Payments that will hold the money until the car is delivered and accepted. Instructs the buyer to send a money transfer through Western Union to an “agent” Andrew Manners. Very elaborate scam, uses Amazon logo and “page”. There is no car! The “agent” picks up the transfer in Baton Rouge, LA but there is an email amazon-payments@purchase-finance.com and a “fax” number 1-312-945-7384 that is a number in Chicago Il. This person even sent me a picture of a passport bearing her “name, date of birth” etc. I wonder who that is in that passport and if that person is safe? I believe it is a federal crime to hold a fake passport. I can not believe the measures people will go to and the creativity they will put into scamming individuals out of money. If they would just put half of that effort into a real job….oh but that would mean real work. I do hope these individuals are caught and have to face those they have scammed from, one can only hope.
