Default New Import/Export Scam

Copied from another forum:


THIS IS A NEW ONE I WOULD LIKE YOU TO POST ON EACH FORUMS..AND PASS THE WORD ABOUT..


THIS IS THE WEBSITE IN QUESTION

WWW.TRADECARVIEW.COM


HOW IT WORKS..

THEY LIST EVERY CAR FOR SALE IN JAPAN..FROM DEALERS AND AUCTION OR PRIVATE SELLERS IN JAPAN...FROM OLD OR NEW ADS.. CARS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOLD LONG TIME AGO AND OR ARE ALREADY IN THE UK OR EU..

THIS IS THE CATCH..

THEY LIST THEMSELVES AS AGENTS OR EXPORTERS..

SO EACH CAR ADD HAS A BOGUS COMPANY THAT OWNS A CAR...

IE Take a look at this for example...

this car is owned by a company called kingbuyer in japan

however on the tradecarview site this car is advertised as owned by.. is.tradingjapan.com..

http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car...supra/1843157/

so the tradecarview get a fee for them arranging the sale of the car..

now they clearly state that the deal is between you and the owner of the car and they are the agent only..(putting you in touch with the exporter)..

basically the dealer who is selling this car is non exisitant and has never owned the car or cars they advertise on tradecarview (this clears tradecarview once you lose your money you see)...

all the cars on tradecarview are real cars and are maybe still for sale in japan, but the companys that are supposed to own them as by what tradecarview says are all bogus companies who the consumers will be sending money to..

they have together made names up of companies that have the cars for sale and bank accounts for payments etc and then they start the ripping people off...left right and centre....

once they have been found out..

they take no responsibility as they are agent only and they cancel the company from their site and yep you guessed a new bogus company is now the owner of the said car for the next potential buyer..


BASICALLY THE CONSUMER GETS IN TOUCH WITH THE BOGUS COMPANY VIA TRADECARVIEW AND SENDS THE BOGUS COMPANY THE FUNDS FOR THE CAR OR CARS THEY WILL NEVER SEE


HERE IS ONE LINK NOT A LOT OF INFO BUT YOU GET THE IDEA..
