The Autotrader Scam...
- Thread starter dynatac

I would like to torture the SOBs who do this crap. Makes me sick to see the scum this world produces.
I'm not sure it's fair to lay this one on Autotrader. This is an old scam, and not limited to Autotrader at all. NSXPrime's ChopsJazz received one of these offers when he sold his car; but he's a clever bloke and was not scammed.
While I won't go so far as to blame the victim, I will say that people need to be careful out there, especially when dealing with large-ish quantities of money. The Internet and other 21st century technologies has made scamming that much easier, and of worldwide scope.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to update my PayPal information. I'll just use this link in the email they so kindly sent me...
