Type of a scam Online Purchase
The seller posted a product for vehicle for sale in the New York area on Craigslist. Photos and descriptions were pulled from a Classic cars.com ad that had run two years earlier. In email conversations, the seller indicated they were out of the country but had an auto broker they worked with for shipping the car, which offered a guaranteed inspection period while the money stayed with the broker, which would be refunded if I was unsatisfied. The broker (which sometimes was referred to as simply a shipping company) the seller listed was Sebum Freight. Though the website indicated it was a ScamPulse.com accredited company, the link was to a fake ScamPulse.com site. The company does not come up on Google search results nor in the actual ScamPulse.com’s database. The address is for a random location in downtown Concord, NH.
