Saw a new one today.. I've always wondered why random people from India or China or Iran message me on Facebook, I assume it's for the "mail it to me oh I sent you too much" scam, but I'm selling a car...

One guy's profile says he's in Iran or somesuch (I mean can't you at least put in minimal effort to make the scam seem legit?!), but he's doing a really good job of sounding like a real customer, quite impressive actually.

Then he asks me to get a car history report at some website I've never heard of. Searches say it's a phishing site so they just get your credit card info when you try and buy their report.

Now he's saying he doesn't trust CARFAX and he'll pay me back if he doesn't buy the car lol.

No wonder people just trade in their cars.
