Hello everyone,I was recently nearly a victim of a scammer. I have my TT on sale on car sales, I was contacted by a person stating that he wants to buy the car but he is over seas, he said he would send a pickup agent to retrieve the car after payment. After a couple more emails he said that he would use pay pal and would need me to wire money to his agent ( which he will give me $1,100) cause he didn't have a credit card and isn't able to transfer the money any other way, he insisted in me using westernunion to this address:

Transport Company UAB"Kuršiu Linija"


Address: Mark Amos,
#112, Moarville Road, Speke,
Liverpool,L70 1AB
United Kingdom.

He wanted me to pay the $1,100 from my own money and I would be credited immediately. Well I was very suspecious at this time, then when I told him I couldn't find the money in my account or pending and i havent received an email from pay pal, low and behold 2 emails came. The person is a dumb ass cause he sent them to the wrong email address, the address he sent them to were not linked to my paypal and paypal wouldn't send it to my other email. So I sent the email to
spoof@paypal.com and they returned to me saying it was indeed a scam!

I went off my head!! I'm sooo lucky the i am so anal about this stuff and that the alarm bells were ringing!

The point of my story is to watch out when selling your car, and if you receive emails from any of these people martinpaul1980@yahoo.com , andrew.cole@ymail.com or paypalaccountantlink@emailaccount.com. tell them to F**k off!
