The 419 Scam, Advanced Fee Scam or 419 Nigerian
Scam
The Used Car 419 Scam, Advanced Fee Scam or 419
Nigerian Scam has been around since the 1980’s and with
everyone using the internet now to buy and sell used
cars, this scam is stronger than ever.
I need to explain what the advanced fee
scam or 419 Nigerian scam is here because when you start
buying and selling cars on the internet then you will no
doubt be approached by one of these scum bags.
The 419 scam goes like this: You just found a great deal on a
little car you can fix up and turn for a solid $1500.00 profit.
Cool. When you’re done you decide to place a ‘For Sale’ ad
somewhere on the internet. It could be through your local
newspaper, eBay, Craigs List, etc.
Soon you start getting contacted via email, fax or phone by an
“auto broker representing a wealthy overseas client" that is
looking for a good car” and this auto broker has decided that
he must have your car for his client.
The “wealthy client” will usually be from Nigeria, United Arab
Emirates, South America, London or Israel. The 419 scam is not
limited to just these countries, although these are the most
common.
If your car is selling for $5000.00 (or whatever), the so
called “auto broker” will tell you that they will pay full
price for your car and all you have to do is to send them your
contact information and they will immediately send you a
cashiers check.
The cashiers check will look real and will be for several
thousand dollars MORE than what you were asking for your
car!
The 419 scam sleazebags are counting on you to immediately
deposit their “cashiers check” in your bank account.
You being the honest Joe that you are will contact them after
getting their check that is for $8000.00 ($5000 plus the $3000
that they “over-paid” you) and they will apologize profusely
saying that "my bookkeeper must have made a mistake and would
you please send me a cashiers check for the $3000.00 that I
over-paid you right away?”
They never wanted your car! They are hoping you will send them
a REAL cashiers check for the $3000.00 "overage" while the
bogus cashiers check they sent you is waiting to clear at your
bank...and of course it never will.
Of course their check will never clear because its fake but now
they will have your $3000.00!
You are on your own because the FBI has pretty much stopped
dealing with the used car 419 scam because it usually
originates in countries where the governments are involved in
this scam.
Here are rules for avoiding the used car 419 scam:
:: Don't extend credit for any reason.
:: Don't pay for anything up front for ANY reason.
:: Never send them anything until their check clears at your
bank.
:: Don't rely on your Government to bail you out. They are
powerless.
:: Don't expect help from the governments where these emails or
phone calls originate because they are in on the 419 scam
themselves.
