Deliberate1

As I search the globe for that perfect Cayenne, I sometimes come across the same vehicle listed on Ebay for one price and on one of the car search engines for a dramatically lower price. Example:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2009-...item2569e79a25 (open this link in a new tab) - currently at $50,108


same car:

http://autos.yahoo.com/used-cars/por...e&distance=any
Offered at $36,00

I have seen this phenomenon a few times. Clearly, the Yahoo listing, which has no real information, is suspect. So what is the scam? Do the posters think someone is going to wire them a ton of cash because of an unrealistically low price and a pretty picture?

Yes these scam listings are so prevalent now you can often see the same car listed 4 or 5 times in different locations and from different sellers. Typically the seller's name is female (divorce sale and don't know much about the car, don't have a drivers license or some other BS), plates are usually covered.

So how does the scam end?

Badly for someone

I ran into a few of these while searching for my Cayenne.

They hope to get someone to send a deposit payment to hold the car.
The amount they get is in direct relation to how dumb the potential buyer is.

As if there is a pretty face in the P!g pen. It's ugly in here, man. U-G-L-Y, ugly.

This is the only forum on RL where handsomeness reigns supreme.

Quiet, you! We have standards!

The handsomeness of the PP can't be allowed to accept just anyone regardless of physical appearance, other than you. Pics or ban.
