I think it is so sad that people still fall for scams. I am looking for a car for my mom and there is a Honda Accord on Bookoo...messaged them and they sent me some sob story about how their son had died in a car accident and the car was his and they just needed me to send them all my personal info so they could do the transaction for it online. No thank you....I know that trick. What is sad is that others do not and they will be out tons of money due to crooks. Just irritates me....rant over.

We are surrounded by con artists!!!! That blows for you and your mom. :(

I hope you reported them to the Bookoo people. 

Erin --- 12 years ago -

Yes, I reported it. I read the email to my mom just to gauge her response and she completely believed it and felt really bad for the "poor woman". I was stunned! I had to sit down and explain to her how these scams work.

yup scams are going great nowadays..now there is a group of Marine wives promising 200 a day doing nothing from home.. all you have to do is spend $40 to find out how...

ROFL that's the classic one...all the military wife "jobs" (see also: pyramid schemes) whether it's sex toys, real estate, what the heck ever the West Coast Movement is, to your more legit ones like Pampered Chef and Mary Kay/Avon..never ceases to amaze me

NEW SCAM AT RETAIL STORES:
Check your receipts carefully and ensure you are only charged for cash back
if you actually requested it. The scam is this: The cashier will key in
that you asked for cash back and then hand it to a friend who is the next
person in line.
