The new twist scam:
Scammer finds a beat up car for sale for $4000 and says he will send check for car plus $500 shipping. You just need to cash check and send $500 by Western Union to shipper.
Scammer runs a ad for the same type of car in prefect condition selling at $4000. plus shipping.
Buyer of scammers car is asked to send check to real car seller. (Enclosed is payment for car, please send to me)
Scammer sends you a email saying the check is on it's way and instructions for paying the shipper by Western Union.
You receive check and cash it (it's a good check)
You send a $500 Western Union to shipper (scammer)
Shipper never shows up, Scammer keeps the $500, Buyer of scammers car knocks on your door looking for his car.
