Cayenne scam

Postby richard on Mon Dec 07, 2009 7:51 pm

Craigslist in both San Diego and Phoenix offered on 6 December and earlier a 2008 Cayenne S for $19,200. This is a scam. (The real owner was offering the same car in Phoenix for $50+K!). The scammer is a "single mom who just moved to Bangor, Maine." "Will pay shipping both ways if you dont like the car when it arrives. Etc.
If it seems too good to be true, then it is.

Very common scam. Usually want money wired, etc. Best way to fish it out is ask for an address because you will be in town to see it, or have a relative who will pick it up for you with a cashiers check. That is usually when shipping becomes free! And you know it is a scam attempt. Other rule of thumb, if it is too good to be true, it usually is.
