Why has no one done anything about this. It seems like its been going on for some time

received a txt from this number about wanting to buy my car on kijiji. its a scam.

jUST RECIEVED A text this morning...said they were from england wanted to buy my car for the in laws. would they take paypal
told them cash only

I just received the exact same thing here today in Nova Scotia. Same text & email. wording was identical with what I have for sale on kijiji written in there.

Just posted a car ad on kijiji. looked up the # 240-406-9281. this is the 3rd # in less than 2hrs of my posted ad. this particular # asked me if my vehicle is still available and asked that I email marrylinda602@yahoo.com. i just replied that the vehicle is sold. i also removed my phone # from the ad.

The other 2 texts came from 406-359-1566 email melody.cruise@yahoo.com with verbatim request as the above. Exact same texting! & 917-410-1256 asked if the car was still available, asked the condition, thanked me for answering the text, asked if I have paypal. He stated that he was happy with the car price and condition and that he will be sending a shipping company to pick up the car and he will pay through paypal. I told him I only deal with face to face. He asked why. i explained that I am not comfortable with this and I know people in law enforcement. He then offered to pay via bank transfer. I thanked him for his interest and declined any further dealings with him. The other texts from different #'s followed shortly thereafter.

thanks for sharing your stories. At least we can check online. Always deal face to face. It is a shame there are scammers out there...
