So OfferUp is just a bunch of scammers

[Womb Raider]

I looked into this 2010 Nissan Maxima with 93k miles on it for $1400 I knew it was too good to be true

when I messaged the guy (who was from Arizona) he redirected me to emailing his sister. I emailed his sister saying she moved from Philly to Butte, MT and was selling the car because her husband died...said they would forward my info to eBay motors and they would send me an invoice and confirm shipping the car to my address. I was fooled until I received an email from somebody else with the same backstory (someone died, they moved away, need to ship the car, etc.)

I responded to the guy's "sister" and then received an invoice from "eBay motors"....I checked the email that it was sent from and it was actually sales.support@auto-sales-services.com this fool literally replicated an eBay motors email and had the NERVE to say the payment must be made via eBay cards 7 cards at $200 each these motherfukkers are RIDICULOUS brehs

I been on there for 2 years and haven’t been scammed yet. Just deal locally and don’t buy/sell items worth more than $500.

This. I sell and bought shyt with no issues. Just keep tabs on the star rating and followers.

Some of these sellers have me at the ridiculous prices for certain items.

I could have told you it was a scam from jump... if they making so many excuses and bullshyt it most likely is... people not as slick as they think!!!

if you gonna buy a car online just make sure they ship that shyt or use a major site such as EBAY so that way you can have receipts... aint no car cost no ebay cards!!! that's a scam fool!!!

I bought a car from offerUp last year, if u know what you are doing, u cannot get scammed.

I met up with the seller, checked out the car from inside and out, took it for a test drive. I contacted a third party company and got them to do a 120 point pre purchase inspection. The car report was missing few minor things which I got the seller to reduce the price for it. But everything worked our just fine in the end and I love it.

rule numero uno, never ever buy anything over $100 that you cannot physically check out.
