Beware!!! Fraudulent listing for my car in Dubai and AutoTrader.com

JMD0977 · 11-12-2009, 12:46 PM

I found this online.
http://motors.souq.com/BMW/M-Power/M...ype=all&lan=EN

Someone in Dubai, it seems, took the pics off a listing I have on Ebay. They claim the cars is in Dubai, only accept cash, and are selling it for 150,000 ADE =$41,000 USD

I reported it to the website, but haven't heard back from them.

It was posted by another or same scammer of AutoTrader.com

Those motherf*ckers...

Go for it!!!

If I add all the original cost of the current mods on the car, they total around their asking price alone.

They should have priced it better

ssemerod · 11-12-2009, 03:05 PM

your car is also on the cheap for 50,000 on autotrader.

Hmm - now I really have some options - decisions, decsions - who to buy from....

Kidding aside - hope you get this sorted and sell your ride soon - somebody on this forum really should jump on it!

JohnnyRoaster · 11-12-2009, 03:46 PM

I think it is safe to say that guy doesn't own any of the other cars he is "selling."

I can't belive people still fall for this kind of scam. Buyer Beware.

frenchM3dreamer · 11-12-2009, 03:54 PM

i've inquired about a couple of nice cars priced really cheap lately, like MB SL550 for $ 7,500 or a 1967 (i think) Mustang fully restored for $ 5,000...
the 2 answers were fairly similar, one was having financial difficulties, the other one was given this car by her dad and wanted to get rid of it quick, both offered to SHIP IT TO ME for free across the country so i can have a look at it, and send it back FOR FREE if i dont like it...
have i had money / time to spend i would have asked them to indeed ship the cars over... instead i just called BS and never replied...
now, these were obv too good to be true... however a M3 for $ 50 K "could" be a real deal if a guy wanted to part out with it rapidly, so i'm sure many people will be interested and a few will get screwed badly...
good luck to get through that sh** !

There are some ads on other websites with THE NEW AUTO TOY STORE as the seller; those are legit as well. Anything else is not.

PoorMan · 11-12-2009, 04:02 PM

Things like this are nothing new..From cars, boats, house to whatever.. These crooks scour every inch of the web for pictures etc.. To generate their bullsh**t.

Not one with an RD Sport RS46 stroker and Dymag wheels amongst other things.
The fake scammer on autotrader at least had half a brain to not state it did, unlike the one in Dubai.

I know what you mean though.

NetBoy · 11-12-2009, 04:31 PM

Took me a few months to buy my car and I saw several of these on autotrader and EBAY.

Scary part is they all take your phone calls and are good about lying about anything suspicious.

NetBoy · 11-12-2009, 04:32 PM

Best part was lying right back. Tell them you're right down the road and want to see the car now.

anthony @ eas · 11-12-2009, 05:03 PM

Crooks. I guess it doesn't help that you have the best looking e93 out there.
