Many advertisements for low mileage, good condition cars (most of the time Acura) with a suspiciously low asking price, seem legitimate up until the seller (who seems to be forthcoming) gives a long story about why he/she is selling the car, usually because of military station/moving reasons. They always offer doing business through a respected company (ebay, PayPal, etc.) And come up with some elaborate way for you to test out the car “risk-free”. (They say they’ll pay for shipping the vehicle) always want your full name, phone number, and address (red flags, not sure what they’d do with these if you didn’t send them money) so after they tell me they’ll ship it to me I’m aware it’s a scam and disconnect. While looking for a used car, I’ve investigated several listings for Acuras, and received this response several times. The latest one was from “nicholas.mistisshen@aol.com” for a 2004 Acura TL. He claims to be in the national guard, and says the USAF will fly the car in a cargo plane to a nearby base for me to look at. Who believes this stuff!?! Be on the look out!
