My neighbor got sucked in with a scam just like this. He was buying a
trailer from a guy who was relocating to England, and the pitch sounds
almost exactly as his was. They would deliver it to him and all he
needed to do was to open an account with this "finance" company and they
would act as a intermediary and hold the money until all parties were
satisfied. Unfortunately he lost.

There is no such thing as Yahoo! Finance. Also, there is no such company as Hemisphere Cargo.

There are very similar scams off e-bay for chevelles. To me anytime they
magically are going to throw in shipping "to your door" for free something
odd is going on. You just need to pay them up front and wait a few days
then a car will show up..................... nothing strange about that at
all. I highly doubt these people are real or even in the United States. I
have a feeling if anyone answers they will strangely sound like they are
not from Plano Texas.
Your response is worded fairly well which is surprising. The one I got
off e-bay was amusing. I inquired about a 70 chevelle as well. The
response I had was, "My brother left to fight the war in Iraq and left it
with me and he asked me to sell it. I would love to keep it but I'm
afraid I might dump it over."
Obviously they got it mixed up with a motorcycle scam they are also
running. Be careful out there!

i am fowarding the reply i received from the scam parson with the
chevelle, the download is a picture.
just by the wording i felt something was up, thanks list for the help.
thought i would forward it so others could get an idea what to look for.
its hard not to get excited about something like this and let that
excitement take over- you want to act right away so you don;t lose a good
deal, but it can bite you in the butt : 0

i still think Dave should call them and scare them, since he is close to
where they said the car was and was an x-policeman
i just hate crap like this, has anyone heard of an honest living
anymore???

RE: chevelle
Hello,
I'm glad that you're interested in my car. The car is street legal and
accurate. It comes with all the documents needed for registration, it has
a clear title and it can be registred into your name at any time. I am
willing to sell it for $4500.This buy now price does include the shipping
and insurance fees. I'm located in Plano,TX and the car is here as well
and so this is where the car will be shipped from. I've done some research
and the best and fastest way I can ship it is using Hemisphere cargo
Shipping Ltd which takes between 4 to 6 days to arrive at your door (door
to door handling and shipping insurance fee included). I am affiliated
with Yahoo! Finance where I have a purchase protection account for $
10,000.00. This service allows us to complete this transaction in a manner
that is quick and safe for both of us. It acts as a third party between
seller and buyer to insure that both parties comply to transaction
requirements and provides dispute resolution and mediation between
parties. Yahoo! Finance is responsible to insure that both parties comply
to transaction requirements. If this is ok with you please reply with your
complete name, address and shipping address in your next email and let me
know if you are interested in knowing more details about this purchase so
that I can open a transaction case at Yahoo! Finance and move forward with
this deal.
Thank you,
Theresa Rices
