This guy Deceived me into thinking i was buying a 1998 3000GT VR-4 for $3500. I thought everything on autotrader was legit but not this time. I was currently going through some financial stresses and because of that I was unable to afford a good reliable car that i wanted. After months upon months of searching i found this add saying this car was for $3500 and had only 89,000 miles on it. It was the car i had been looking for all these months i thought. The seller however wouldnt give me a number but just an email saying-

Hello,
I'm the owner of the 1998 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 on which you've recently show interest. The car is in excellent shape and running condition and it has a clean title. The price for the car is $3,500 with shipping and handling included in price. I am located in Houston, TX now and the car will be shipped from here. Shipping will be done via DAS and it will take no more then 2-3 days top (depending on your exact location).
The transaction will be made through MoneyBookers Escrow for our own protection. You will have 5 days to inspect and test drive the car upon arrival with no obligation to buy. If you are interested in the purchase, please get back to me and let know so we can make the deal.

Sincerely,
Robert

He told me how moneybookers escrow was a secre transaction website so after nearly a month of saving up enopugh money to buy the car i sent the money as instructed through a money gram. Never heard from him or money bookers again...
