    Auto Trader scam????

    I've had my Z28 on auto trader for prolly a month now. Haven't got a single call on it.

    I get a call today from someone who saw the ad and can "help me sell my car faster and for way more money" All he needs is for me to "help" him with his advertisement costs, to the tune of a low low-only-for-me-special-price of $350. (He claims to work with financing poor credit risk folks so they're willing to pay more.)

    I told him I'd have to get back to him on that one. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. He gave me a website to check out, but I'm at work and don't have it on me.

    Anyone ever had experience with this or heard of it? Is this a new scam or has it been around awhile?

    tell him you will pay him when he gets you 2000 more than what you are currently asking and you will personally give him a side bonus.............seriously, who would fall for that?

    I was thinking about that actually. But most scammers have all the answers, so pretty sure that won't fly.

    Yeah, it was an 800, well 866 number. I returned the call thinking it was an interested buyer. Just assumed the buyer was calling me from work and gave me an 800 number.

    Yeah, I'm starting high. It's a run till you sell it ad, so no loss there. Might as well try to get as much as possible. But hell, it books at 23K+, I started out at 21, 900K. I'm down to $20,500. Eh, summer's coming.
