Just got a message through AutoScout on my Camaro sale ...
Quote: Hallo Ich mag Ihr Auto sehr viel und ich hoffe, dass es noch verfugbar ist. Ich will es kaufen. Um Sie zu zeigen, dass ich ernst ich bin Schicken Sie den eur von 1000 im Voraus zu Ihnen. Ich kann mit dem Rest von kommen Das Geld, das Auto nach 25/05/2007 zu kaufen. Um den eur von 1000 zu ubertragen, erfordert meine Bank: Ihr voller Name, Adresse, einzahlen Kontonummer und BLZ.
Apart from may 25th being long over, @ssholes like these hope for the greed of the sellers hoping for quick cash ... as if I'd give out my bank account information that easily ...

He's very interested in the car & willing to transfer a 1000€ downpayment right away ... all he needs is my bank account information ...
Btw, this scheme is used on EBay, too ... people winning an auction, but instead of transferring the money to the account, they use the information for fraud ...

Even if you gave him the information and he'd transfer the money you could always get it back (I think for up to 6 weeks after the transfer action) as long as YOU don't transfer it to him...

There's other schemes going on, this kind of money transfer isn't much of a danger ... what happens in some cases is that you get a money transfer, either for the amount expected, or even more, then they get back to you, back out of the deal and ask you to transfer the money back, giving you a bank account # for the transfer - when in effect they used a stolen bank account to transfer the money from, laundering the money on the way ... and you get into trouble because you helped laundering it, plus you have to pay the money back to the original account ... of course, the other account transfer cannot be stopped/revoked again, so you're the idiot in the end (just as in the beginning  )
