Where can I report someone who's doing online scam?
Hi everyone!
I would just like to share my experience. We are looking for a second hand car and checked Car Ads section,
There's one suspicious ad offering new car model for a very low price. I knew it's already a scam but still sent them an email stating we are very interested with his car.
He replied and said he is in UK now and that is the reason why he is selling the car for a very low price. We then replied to say to reserve the car this week because we really want to buy it. He then replied to send money (around 11K-12K QR.) via Western Union to anyone we knew in UK (friends, relatives etc) and send him a scanned copy of the receipt. By reading that message, I told him we have the money so come here next week to negotiate. We don't need to send any proof and besides the offer is too good to be true and he just proved my suspicion that is he a scammer. He didn't reply anymore.
So the bottom point is do not believe everything you read and see esp if it's too good to be true.
Take care everyone.
I am posting all his emails to me
i will explain you again
the transfer fee i will give you back when i will meet with you.
go to a western union office with cash 10000qr and send the money to a friend name,family name etc, and put country destination united kingdom, for can check my self the transfer status in Uk, and then scann the paper and send here in my email to check.
after i check i will come and give you the car..then i will go with you to a western union office and you will change the receiver name with my name so can pick up the money when i will be back in uk.
now you understand?
thank you
