Classified Car Ad issue?

[jessicar]

What's about some extremely cheap cars on Thai visa classified? 

If you try to call the number doesn't exist. 

What's the game? 

Any ideas?

perhaps they have been sold?????

Well, as they saying goes, "if something looks too  good to be true" etc

 

Suspicious, yes, but we do not screen or vet the advertisements placed and users should exercise a degree of caution/common sense when viewing them, like any open system it may be subject to abuse from time to time.

 

"handle with care/caution" may be a good approach. ????

If they are sold the phone number doesn't exist anymore? 

 

[CharlieH]

Its possible that they use a throw away sim number so they dont keep getting bugged by calls after its been sold. They dont ask to have the ad taken down when sold in most cases.

Finally I found out what the game is. 

Any cheating <deleted> wants to sell these cars and wants the money by western union before you even see the car. 

Located in Afrika. 

Can anyone be stupid enaugh to sent money by WU to Afrika to buy a car in Thailand?

Sadly, yes. Enough people fall for these (and other) scams to make it worth while ????
