Type of a scam Other
A 2008 Honda Accord was offered for sale in the local newspaper, well under the expected market value. An exchange of e-mails ensued, including a false link to a CARFAX report (although the car VIN is real (from a more recent VIN search). A false diagram of a Google Wallet process which would be the intermediary to hold the money until the car was delivered and the buyer agreed to release the money. A false website describing Instructions and Questions and a false Google Wallet Invoice were all used and were very convincing and the sites are still active. Apparently, false use of Google names and logos were used.
In reality, Google does not offer this service. In addition, Pay Pal My Cash cards and their PINs were required by the false Google Wallet invoice. This allowed the scammer to load the value of the cards ($2500) to their own Pay Pal account. Delivery was promised as was the right to inspect the car for a week or so, after which the buyer would "authorize" Google Wallet to release the funds to the seller. The car was not delivered, the Pay Pal My Cash cards were emptied into an online Pay Pal account within a day and Pay Pal will not divulge the identity of the on-line account owner unless requested to local police officers.
