Mobile phone ... ... adress email............. once this full detail on my side,i will send it to my caretaker and he contact you for the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mogo51 Posted February 25, 2017 Popular Post Posted February 25, 2017 Good Morning Eduardo and welcome to the forum. On the information provided I would almost guarantee it is a fraud. It is hard enough to buy a car in Philippines face to face, let alone remotely! I would never provide this information until I saw who I was dealing with thoroughly checked out the car and satisfied myself regarding the transaction. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert k Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Agree with the above. I gave my jeep to someone without transferring title but with special limited power of attorney to dispose (sell) the vehicle, drawn up at a lawyers office for 500 pesos. They sold the jeep and the owner got good title. If someone is really using an agent and it is not fraud, the agent needs something similar. If it's a forced sale for money for an emergency, they would take the car to a car lot rather than wait for a random person online to inquire. Be careful. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Happyhorn52 Posted February 26, 2017 Popular Post Posted February 26, 2017 Works both ways! An honest seller would be suspicious of a Brazilian living in Hong Kong and wanting to purchase a car in the Philippines on line. This sounds like a scam to most people. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduardo Da Silva Posted March 6, 2017 Author Posted March 6, 2017 Thank you guys for your posts. I went a bit forward on my negociation Just to see his Modus Operandi. I told that I was affraid of the Nigerian mafia acting in the Philippines, the guy become angry and I asked him why he was using a Benin number. He replied that he was on vacation. To be short, he sent an email telling me to deposit some amount of Money to prove that I was a serious buyer and that amount would be deducted from the car balance. I told him, let's let's stop whith the game, because now was confirmed that he was a scammer. By the way, I bought a second hand Toyota Revo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
