So how does a scam like this work? How do they rip you off if they don't own the car? Try to trick you into a deposite?

How about this..

You email them and of course ask for pictures. They now have your email address and a phone number. The phone number will generate info off the public record database. Perhaps you ask for pictures, they say that they will need to mail them to you, now the have confirmed your name and address.

Once they know who you are they start searching for an SSN. And if they find it?

Bang

Of course they may be just stealing most of your identity to pretend to be you when they are running their CL scams or something else.

These boys are harvesting identities.

Tod-

No reason why not-

Except one thing, would you say that you ever heard as much about identity theft before the Internet explosion? You never heard it, but now you hear it all the time. Phone books have been around for a long tims.

I am probably wrong about this.

What are your thoughts? Why run ads with low priced cars, with wrong descriptions, yet we havent heard of any scams. And the ads have no contact numbers. Is this just a bunch of guys getting their rocks off, posting bogus ads?

And if so you would think they would want to respond to emails and the like; if its for attention. They don't.

Any ideas?

ALOT OF GOOD POINTS AND BAD POINTS---BUT--WHEN ARE WE AS REAL PEOPLE GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY ON OURSELVES ALSO AND START FIGHTING BACK/GETTING THE LAWS CHANGED/ PUNISHING THESE IDIOTS THAT DO THIS AND NOT BE FORCED INTO A FEARFUL STATE ALL OUR LIVES---I WILL NOT AND REFUSE TO CONSTANTLY BE LOOKING BEHIND MY BACK[ STAND UP AND FIGHT THIS STUPIDITY THAT HAS TAKEN OVER OUR COURTS SYSTEMS AND LAWS]
THIS IS YOUR RIGHT AND DUTY OR-- YOUR CHILDREN/ GRANDCHILDREN AND THIERS WILL NEVER BE FREE AGAIN :shock: :shock:
WHEN THEY CATCH THESE IDIOTS THE LAW DOES NOT PUNISH THEM AT ALL!!!

I KNOW THAT SOUNDS HARSH BUT THE TRUTH DOES HAVE TO BE FOUGHT FOR 8) 8)

I mentioned this ad on the chevelle forum and one guy said there was a person on RJ that often posts ads of Chevelles that do not belong to him for half the value...Then they get lots of people interested only to tell them sorry it's sold.it seems they thrive on the attention they get or something .
