Help me with this transaction please !!!

[Phalanx]

A man in Italy want to sale his Acura Integra for me and this is the way he suggested me to pay him :

if you wire the money to my address...but use a random name...then western union will hold that money until you change the receiver's name...western union will be like our escrow agent...this keeps your money safe..and my car safe..as soon as you will receive the car then you will change the name on the western union receiver..and wire me the remainder of the balance...please let me know if this is acceptable. And I will provide you the copy of the bill of sale , signed over by me, proof that I am a serious person and that our transaction is legit,

He said that he is going to give me his full name, address, and his phone number . Can I trust him and do this transaction ?

Please help me , I am so new with this kind of business . Ba` con co^ ba'c giu'p du`m . Thank a lot .

WU = cash, never send stranger cash for online shopping unless he's your family.

This is a very popular scam through emails. !!!DON'T EVER FALL FOR THEM!!!

The scheme is something like this: you buy an item of $1000, they send you a check of $10000 for deposit and ask you send them the remaining $9000 through Western Union. It'll take your bank at least 5-6 days to clear a foreign check and find out that it's a bounced one while they already withdraw the famous remaining easily in one day.

Just google, you find lots of stories about this :cigar:

hmmmmmmmm
I just asked FBI about this transaction and they tell me that they cannot adivse me anything . They only say that I have to do more research to know exactly who the seller is and I have to decide I can trust him or not :P .
Overall, I think he is not a hornest guy . Because this transaction is too good to be true . What do you think about 2000 Acura Integra GSR 2 doors for 6000 ?

Any transaction involves international and cash is scam. Walk away from it. When something is too good to be true, it IS too good to be true. Try to call him and see how sweet this guy will be. Tell him you can fly over there and see him and see how he reacts.

What kind of FBI agent are they? Can't offer advice! They/FBI get paid by us/working people :35sad:

I just tell him that and he never reply me again . I asked him about his phone number like 3 times but he never respond . I think I will play with this guy a little bit :D

[sung35]

He knew you knew he is a scam, so he stopped contacting you.
