The particular scam in question is described here: http://phonehelp.grn.cc/facts.html Hold your mouse over #17 to get the explanation on how it works.
I got hits on Lami on an earlier search and I think LifeLock was the site. I will look again and let you know. His text offered me full price and would pick up my car and said it was a surprise gift for his cousin and he would only use PayPal since it was so secure. In any case, I hope you don't get burned in any way.
Here is site where I first found him: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-613-917-8314 Different tel, same name, same set of circumstances.

Right info! The best way to avoid scam is always go for a particular dealer that's well reputed and well-known in the market. In this regard, I will mention Pedata RV Center that has deliver me the best rv truck for a family trip inside the U.S. Although, it also depends on the customer to avoid third class car or truck dealers that are the main cause of these scams.

I think that shipping scam is the most common issue. I haven't personally faced it, but a good friend of mine purchased a car online, and after paying the deposit, the seller vanished. I can't provide all the details about this case now. But I see it happens pretty often. Some people wait for their cars for more than a year and still believe that they will get them.

Got scammed
 
I got scammed today on a car I posted for sale on here. Got a text message wanting to buy the car at asking price. I was tied up with other things to pay much attention. The person wanted a history report on the car. Sent me a link. I googled the website autovinexperts paid the $35 for a report. Never heard back from them. Did more research on it and apparently they built a website for a fake vin search site. They try to convince people to send a report from their own website before they come to purchase the vehicle.

You’re absolutely right bringing this up — traditional auto scams are still out there, and people really need to stay cautious. I’ve seen cases where shady dealers roll back odometers, hide accident history, or push super high-interest financing on unsuspecting buyers. One of the oldest tricks is advertising a car at a low price to lure you in, then claiming it’s “just been sold” and trying to upsell you on something overpriced. Best advice? Always research the dealer, get a full vehicle history report, and if a deal sounds too good to be true — it probably is!
