The P250.00 would be paid upfront. Hindi na mababawi yan.

why would anyone pay kung di pa nakikita yung sasakyan..

prospective buyer would be shown "the car" by his "carrier" (accomplice).
that is probably the last time, he will see it.
"boodle boodle", automotive version.

notice that the scammer does not volunteer any address, phone number, or anything that can directly be traced to his person.

my advice,
buy from folks with identified addresses.
don't transact business at the convenient gasoline station or fastfood parking lot.

It's a scam after all, they'll say or do anything to get some money. They may even say it's for processing fee etc etc...

Hindi ko nga din alam. I don't know anyone in the right mind na magdedeposit ng hindi nakikita yung car. Ang naiisip ko lang is yung info na inaask. Baka gamitin kung saan.

newbie car buyers are usually not in their right minds.
they are too excited, buying their dream car.

Especially sa mga naghahanap ng cheap relatively new low mileage 2nd hand, yun ang mga nabibiktima nyan. Di pa kasi nila alam yung saying na "If it's too good to be true it probably is."

Something similar almost happened to a cousin of mine years ago.

Dadalin daw yung sasakyan sa address nya, papakita yung sasakyan, tapos pag ok lahat, dun nya bayaran, pero hindi muna ibibigay yung sasakyan kasi daw sila na mag-aayos sa transfer ng OR/CR, kasama daw yung sa service nila. After a few days hahatid na yung sasakyan naka pangalan na sa kanya.

LoL!

Hahaha. Parang may ganyan din ako 4 years ago. I checked the car tapos okay naman. Kaso yung payment, deposit muna sa bank then balik daw ako sa house nila. Nagexit na ako after hearing that.
