yeah carry them for a ride.
get the police involved so when they come to collect the car after they make a down payment get them arrested.

Think about it, why would they want vehicles from trinidad?! They can get the same vehicle in left hand drive right there in the us for alot less than it sells here for. Dont let temptation fool u, it hard to get ur car stolen, but how u gonna tell ppl that ur car was stolen by someone in another country?! Some local advertising websites warn against this exact situation and others.

this type of scam was posted on tuner a good while back.seems the scammers have started up once more.

they usually want to pay via paypal as paypal can refund the paid $$$

they send someone to "ship" the car you sell car car get removed from your premises and you get paid via paypal. however about two weeks later you get an email from paypal stating the buyer did not receive car and wants a refund.

once the paid money has been refunded from your paypal account youre out of a car and out of cash..

simple.

ohh and dont think about going after the shipper cause the shipper is going to just get hired to pick up and drop off the car . he aint know nothing else.

That is a common scam.

Same thing happened to me a few years ago on trinicarforsale.com. apparently they scan that site quite frequently.

At the time they, trinicars, had identified a few email address the usually post to you, happens the address was one of the posted ones.

emailed the guy telling he is a fraud and scam artist and a whole bunch of crap, I had fun with it, never herd from him again.
