Seller Asking Price Scam

The newest fraud scam is when a fraudster is placing a legit ad with realistic asking price, but putting a lower price on the photos or in the additional selling points. 

Always make sure all pricing information within the ad is the same.  It is very common for a fraudster to ask for a down payment or a lesser amount of the value of the car to entice unexpected buyers.

Remember if the price looks too good to be true, then it is probably a scam. See image below.

I can't believe that people actually do this and some of them get away with it, one has to be so careful now a days as you can be out of pocket so quickly. Thanks for making us aware of this know I will be keeping my eyes open to this.
