[QUOTE="lightfair, post: 119119, member: 3816"] THAT (and other things). Now, all of those previous "incarnations" are already defunct (the scammer removes them once word gets out; the domains are a bit hard to kill - but we try!). I'd found the actual fake site earlier today and put it into the various databases; so I'm naturally looking around if there are potential victims. Your site (and another Canadian site) had already questions about the "company" - which means that Google and other search engines pick up your content very quickly and word gets out. While all the previous replies in this thread already showed a certain intuitive sense that there is probably something wrong or fishy with this deal I figured it is still another thing to know exactly what's going on and how this scam works. This might be even more important as the scammer (naturally) targets people interested in somewhat high-priced items (like sports or vintage cars or jewelry) - hence people interested in sports cars might come across a similar situation at one point - and then it's good to be prepared. Interesting tidbit: This scammer seems to target different geographic locations over time; a while ago he was mostly targetting buyers in the UK and Ireland; right now it seems to be Canada. If I had to guess where he's from I'd say probably Romania (because in the past most of those scams originated there) but I could be wrong. There's also a Russia angle on this. Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome. As I wrote in another posting I'll probably and sadly have not much to contribute about he main topic of this forum; but if questions about such shipping and escrow companies arise I'll gladly look into it.
