Type of a scam Online Purchase
This started when I clicked on a Check Availability link for a "1967 Grand Prix Custom" car
on https://www.listedbuy.com/cars/classics/tucson-az/1967-pontiac-grand-prix-custom…⇄ that claimed to be a private seller and provided the requested contact information.
I got an email from the "seller" with a bit of information and a request for my contact information which I provided.
That first email indicated my request was sent to them by [email protected] which was pictured on the above web page.
That resulted in me being emailed an invoice for the car from "Yoder Transport" to be shipped to me by them acting as a trusted intermediary between buyer and seller. Invoice includes instructions for wiring the money to Yoder Transport LTD.
(email said from [email protected])
That was followed by an exchange of some emails with the supposed seller with me trying to get more information and them immediately lowering the asking price a lot while claiming to be the ill wife of a deceased husband who was trying to sell what had been his and his father’s car.
I finally checked ScamPulse.com for Yoder Transport to check them out and found out it was probably all a scam.
I have the email exchange trail and the PDF invoice.
My last reply to them effectively telling them I perceived a scam with a link to the ScamPulse.com web page for Yoder Transport LTD.
So far, I have not heard from them again.
