Car Buying Scam

[anonymous-user]

Selling a car on Auto trader and got this 'well written' e mail today. I am sure it is a scam , but how does he make it work for him ?



''Hi,Do you still have it for sale? i will like to make an offer of the exactly amount you want to sell it,payment will be made through paypal and i will arrange for the pick up as well. Cheers, *****''

Covered many times before.

Once you agree you will get a well worded email from paypal saying they are holding the funds on your behalf and that you can release the car.

Car is picked up.

No funds in paypal.
