AOPA says Scammers are targeting aircraft sellers:
Aircraft owners beware: Scammers on the prowl
Scammers looking to make a quick buck are targeting aircraft owners.
Over the past six months, scammers from Thailand, Nigeria, and the
Netherlands have been contacting aircraft owners who have their birds
for sale.
Here's the scenario: You are selling your old Cessna 172 for $50,000. A
potential "buyer" contacts you through a Web board or e-mail
solicitation and offers to buy your aircraft. This person offers to pay
you $55,000, if you agree to send them a $5,000 check for the
difference.
You receive what looks like a legitimate check, so you send them the
$5,000. But when you try to cash the check, you are told there are no
funds in the account. You're out $5,000.
"The best way to protect yourself when selling an aircraft is to do
some investigative work. Check out the party offering to buy the
aircraft," said Woody Cahall, AOPA vice president of aviation services.
"When you receive a check, make sure it is legitimate get your money
before sending a check for the difference."
If you have any questions about selling your aircraft, contact the AOPA
Pilot Information Center weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Eastern
time at 800/USA-AOPA or via e-mail.
