Question by Jason O: hello, is there an actual yahoo auto depot?
i received this email about purchasing a car Hello,
Sorry for this late reply but I was unable to check my e-mail until now. The car is in good running condition and comes with a clear title. There is no lien on it there will be no monthly payments no take over payments just final price. It’s a non smoker car with zero mechanical/electrical problems no damages or accidents.
I am looking to sell it right away for $ 2900 (shipping and title transfer fees included). There is a reason for selling it for such a low price but it’s just something personal that has nothing to do with the car’s condition and I’m not willing to discuss it so please don’t ask.
I would like to use a third party service to handle this transaction for our both safety and comfort. Yahoo Autos offers a third party service of course for a small fee. I have applied and I’m willing to pay for their fee if you agree using their service. I’m currently stationed in Camp Bucca Southern Iraq had nobody back home that could help me with the sale so I’ve left the car at the Yahoo Autos Depot and they will take care of the shipping/payment.
If you are interested please go to autos.yahoo.com and click the sign up link in order to register (activate your e-mail account too) then get back to me with you user id so I can contact Yahoo and ask them to provide you the details about the transaction process.

Thanks,
Charles Wagner.

honestly, that sounds a little bit suspicious for a number of reasons.
1) if you have not gone onto yahoo autos, then there’s the number one problem.
2) i just checked yahoo autos and it looks mostly like a place to price automobiles.
3) most things like this, it should be the buyers choice on way to pay- generally allowing you to pay right over the internet.
4) most 3rd party payment methods, they like to have you use western union, and one of the warnings on the send form is that you are paying to receive a good or service- such as the car.
5) also, the fact that this person wants the car sold quickly
