Scam?

[cripson]

Hi there. This is for everyone, please leave a comment and explain your reason. Here is the story:

2 month ago i was looking for cars on AutoExtra, saw a sweet bmw m3 red. I send some email to ask for some info. The car is a beauty, red trim interior with red leather. 2003 bmw m3 SMG 33k mileage. but now the hard to believe part is: its for sale at $9800usd. Now as of this monday. They guy replied to me. telling me that the car is great and stuff, and he is located in Ireland,and he has persoanl problem and really want to sell the car. (sounds like bs to me) So now he said he's willing to pay tax and shipping fee all come together at 9.8k usd. Today i got the email from "http://www.euro-shipmentcompany.com/" telling me to confrim shipping. It require 3.8k usd as depost. but it says the seller will not recieve this money until I(buyer) approved the item i'm purchasing. The shipment company also gived me the seller's addresss and dock location in ireland and stuff.

All sounds really nice eh? But i dunno. Anyone ever used/herd of euro-shipmentcompany? They could be all in this, or is this for real?

p.s trying to get the VIN number and more info.

Classic scam, don't touch it. He'll have you send him the money and you wont get the car because it doesn't exist. Don't touch that with a ten foot pole. Lots of people trying to do that from overseas using EXACTLY the method you described. I also personally think that if you fall for it you 100% deserve to be screwed.

it's a scam, never buy a car sight unseen... and never buy from overseas, it'd probably cost him 1/2 of his asking price to ship it.


and you wouldn't be able to legally import the car to canada anyways, you can't import cars under 15 years old.

i see i see. Man is this Kein dulfred guy(seller) fast. 2 minutes later reply my email. He said:
"
Hi,

i sell the car for this price because it have us specs and us documents and i can't register it here in my country. Here is VIN: WBSBL93403JR23928
You don't have to make any problems because your money will be safe and secure to EuroShipmentCompany representative. They will transfer the money to my name after you receive and test the car.

Thanks
"

And you can import the car to canada, You just have to pay import tax. With some exceptions. Its 15yr older car you dont have to pay tax.

Hey who can chek VIN number for free? lol

[Mitsu3000gt]

His english is just as good as the guy who tried to get me with the same scam lol

SHit.. i found this car on ebay.. 100% satifcation? Omg.. is this for real?

[cripson]

oh wait.. um.. so this guy pretend he's from Ireland and pick something on ebay and say he is selling it? Cause on ebay thie car is located in NY. Um.. how intresting. I shall email him

[Ntense_SpecV]

Are you just trying to get more info out of him? Really he's not going to come out and tell you he's trying to scam the shit out of you - hell I know he's doing that right now. Let it go man - there's no such thing as a car worth close to $45-50k Usd go for under 10K....the car doesn't exist or you will never see your so called car EVER.

yep 100% legit cripson. 100%...

while you're at it, I'll send you $10 000USD for the bugatti veyron he has for sale and we can split on shipping! make it way easier.


tell him not to forget my floormats this time too. I was so pissed when I bought my gallardo last year and he forgot the fucking floormats. you'd think when you pay $15 000USD for a gallardo, he'd remember to send the floormats. :rolleyes:

[cripson]

lol, nice comments. Ok i know i know, I'm letting it go. I never was really into it. lol Yeah, after my ebay reply to "kevin". he's not replying back anymore....

Hmm, I could have sworn the Irish could write English better than that.

Obviously the reason only two pics are supplied that he has no external pics, because he has no car. He probably grabbed the pics off of a car forum, and that was all that was available. Besides, if he actually took external pictures of a car where he is, buyers would wonder when Dublin became a desert.

[barbarian]

That site is just hilarious ( http://www.euro-shipmentcompany.com/ ) and full of cliches about these kind of sites.

A guy like this is always in the corner:

Also, an escrow company hosted by Yahoo?

[adam c]

plus.. arent cars in the UK a right hand drive? or is that just england?

[canadian_hustla]

http://www.euro-shipmentcompany.com

LOL total fraud

1) Notice no online contact phone number
2) track a shipment means inputting your "tracking number" into a javascript prompt box (LIKE WTF,!!!!!) , and then and only then you are transfered to a webpage that has your tracking number. I.e. if your tracking number was 4544L, the address would be www.euro-shipmentcompany.com/4544L.html! lol
3) testamonial from a supposed "person" from calgary, when the head office is in London..
4) plus all the other stuff mentioned above

scam website, garbage garbage garbage

[canadian_hustla]

on another note,

http://www.euroshipmentcompany.com/ looks like the exact same site

mirrored? !
