<prompt> Human: So I have a car thats only six months old that I need to sell. My company is now providing me a vehicle, so by selling it I can avoid paying insurance, upkeep, etc. I paid cash for the car 2017 WRX and its in perfect condition. I listed the vehicle on Cars.com, and I was contacted this morning by someone who wants to purchase and ship the vehicle. The wrinkle is that he wants to use PayPal, and will wait for the funds to clear. Im not an idiot, and I only want to do business via a certified check. Im fairly certain this is a scam. My question is, how does the scam work? Is it ever advisable to use PayPal for such a large transaction?  <response>: This is a standard scam, everyone who puts up a car or anything for sale gets these scam replies. Just delete it and concentrate on finding a real in-person buyer.How does the scam work? The scammer is in a foreign country, he has access to hijacked bank and paypal accounts. He pays you with stolen money. Then he flim-flams you into sending REAL money to the shippers which is actually his gang. And he picks up the cash in his country. He doesnt even want your car. And then the fraud is discovered and you have to pay back all of the stolen money. Theres no way to twist this around and scam the scammer. So dont even try. Just delete all those emails and youre done.Source: There are literally 1,000,000 articles on the internet about this exact scam.
