We need to pass a law putting an obligation on western union to query someone sending money for scams.
That is not practicable in that form, as people are entitled to some confidentiality.
Are we edging into Shooting the Breeze territory here, rather than Cars & Motoring?... But what about other people who dont use AAM?
The only way to stop this happening ( as well as all the other scams ) is for people to know about them.
So whats the best way to do this???
Indeed he had recieved the bog standard email of he had purchased the car for his brother in Ireland who had moved to the UK and had died.
Slightly off topic - but whatever about car scams in particular, surely anyone who uses email/is remotely savvy would know at this stage that any too good to be true offer received out of the blue via email is a scam?
The email wasn't out of blue he had sent an email first after seeing the car advertised on carzone.
Try searching for 'car scam' in AAM. There are multiple threads / posts about the various versions.... How does the rest of the scam work ...
Please don't start another one...

No intention of - not sure why you would think i would based on the question I asked in my last post.
Did so.
It seems obvious to me by the emails from the scammers thats its dodgy. Poor spelling, lots of odd information about different countries etc... Being asked to send money (and very detailed instructions about the sender not being the receiver etc...), the whole thing just seems way too elaborate to be real.
Maybe Ive just got a high radar for rubbish, but personally I think any of the versions of the scam reported by the OP are obvious as dodgy deals.
