Buying a car

    Hi all,

    I'm going to buy a car and I just wonder if anyone of you heard of this type of transaction before. As I'm not sure if this is some kind of scam ? Quoting the seller below:

    "I have closed some deals through MoneyBookers untill now and everything went OK, so i would like to close this deal through MoneyBookers so we can be both protected. I'll explain you how it is working right now:

    1. You have to make 50% downpayment to MoneyBookers , your money will be kept in hold
    2. I'll start the shipping to you after they will confirm me that the downpayment has been made
    3. You will recive the car within 7 days, after you will recive it you have 14 days to test/inspect it.
    4. After inspection period you have to confirm to MoneyBookers if you are satisfied with the car.
    5. If you are satisfied with the car and you want to keep it they will give me your money and you will send me the rest of money
    6. If you are not satisfied with the car, you will send it back (taxes paid by me) and they will return your money because they will hold your money before you will confirm them your decision.

    I hope you understand that this is safest payment method. If you agree with that please e-mail me your full name and address and they will provide you with all the informations you need to make the downpayment. "

    I never heard of doing a deal this way before therefore I am bit suspicious.

    Thanks

    How does this not scream scam at you so much that you wouldn't even bother posting on this forum??????

    Stay away......or if you are going to reply back, at least do the decent thing and waste their time :D

    Whilst I like the idea, it's not worth wasting my time on.:)
