What's wrong with this picture?
My youngest child sent me this. "This is a great deal. I could sell it for $15,000"

Does this have all the marks of SCAM written all over it? See how many issues you can find.

That's probably the down payment. Once you give them that, you won't see them anymore. There is no way that car would sell that low unless it's totalled out in a bad wreck.

It's quite a bogus VIN. It's probably a scam from a foreign national.

They communicated by email...the seller wants $2,000 deposited in some foreign escrow service before he even shows the car. SHEESH!!
