Scam or no?
Well i was looking online for a car to buy since mine broke down. And i came across the relatively cheap car and i sent a message to the owner and this is what he said.
Quote:
Hi there,
The car is in perfect working condition, it doesn't have any dents, chips or scratches and the interior is in like new condition, never smoked in.
All the maintenance done on a regular basis and I have all the service records for it. It's accident-free and has a clean and clear title.
The total price that I 'm asking for the car including shipping will be $2,600.00. I am selling it so cheap hoping to find a buyer since the car is located in Provo, UT at MoneyBookers and I live in Scotland. I would like to use MoneyBookers Shipping Department a third party service to handle this transaction for our both safety and comfort. (they will take care of the shipping/payment).
If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address, phone# and I will open a case and they will contact you with all the informations about our deal.
Thank you

So is it a scam? I'm very suspicious about this.

3rd party shipping/payment = scam
Personally I would never pay someone $2,600.00 for anything unless I could look them in the eye while I hand them my money...

Is this on craigslist? That is the ultimate scam. CL is only for LOCAL buyers. Do not ever ship any money or anything out.
