i was about to buy a car for an extraordinary price. and searching on the internet i found that what i am experiencing is one of the most common scams using moneybookers. i present what i facing now if someone can help me with this. this is fresh. date Friday 01 may 2009.

this is what it goes. this is what they sent to you.

seller paul wilkinson

this is for a cadillac sts 2005 that worts more than $15 grand and he is asking only $3,800!!!!

first email

I apologize for the delay, I'm in the military and now I am in Pearl Harbor Naval Station - northwest of Honolulu and that's why I couldn't reply in time.Anyway, thank you for your interest in buying the car.Why is the price so low? I am selling the car because I am here in Hawaii with my work, and my regiment will be deployed in three weeks in Iraq and I think I'll stay there for a while that's why I'm selling it so cheap, I intend to buy a new car when I'll get back home. So all that I want to do now is to sell the car at this price,because I need to sell it fast.It has a clean title, very well maintained, always garage kept, no rust, excellent condition, runs and sounds 100% perfect with no leaks or noises.All power and optional equipments are working perfect.

Here are all the photos of my car.The pictures are recent, and they were taken right before preparing the car for sale:

The price is $3,800 THIS IS MY LAST PRICE(I will not negotiate the price).

Let me know if you are interested.

second email

Hi again,

As i've told you in my first email, i'm in Honolulu with my job, but you will not have to worry about this because before leaving I had prearranged the shipping, and the payment to be done using MoneyBookers, so my presence isn't necessary(the car is in Virginia at a Navy sealed and ready for the shipping).Since I work with the Navy the delivery process is not an issue,I can ship for free with one of our military airplanes so you don't have to worry about the distance.The car will arrive at the nearest military airport terminal from your location and after that it will be send to your door and all the shipping process will not take more than 4-5 days.According to MoneyBookers you have 5 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.First of all I need your full name and shipping address.After I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to MoneyBookers and I will proceed the order.MoneyBookers will contact you with all the details that you need to complete this deal and also to see that i am covered by them.

I look forward to hear from you.

third email.

VIN: **************** and title in clean. the car is in perfect condition, no problem for register the car your name! Please replay requested info (full name and shipping address) for register to MoneyBookeres.

Tank You!

this is exactly as Rana experienced.

First off -the "seller" could get far more than $3800 for the car anyplace locally. Second shipping a personal car on a military aircraft would get the seller and all associted with him a quick trip to the slammer ,not Iraq. Why anyone would fall for a scam like this is incredible. MoneyBooker is not the problem. The problem is anyone's intelligence who would fall for a scheme like this. There is no car. I can take photos of anybody's car on the street and "sell" it just like this person did. Obviously the "potential buyer" has never been in the military. This story is amazing.

this is because moneybookers have a big fail in the way it works. thats why anyone that wants can get your money that easy. moneybookers NOT WORKS to buy that kind of things. if they want to use moneybookers is almost a scam!! that simple. i tried to buy two cars vie this system and both scams!!! use paypal or something that really certified their addressees this system does not require that confirmation. BEWARE with this, cars and moneybookers simple DO NOT WORKS!!
