Im wanting to buy a car from a guy who said that he is in germany and his car I want is in new york. He said we can use worldpay to do the transaction. However I have never used this company or heard of it. There website looks legit. Is this safe? I pay 20k for the car they send it to me, if I decide to keep it they send him the money. What are your thoughts?
Thanks

 

I've paid for a add-on service to my email firewall to: uk.worldpay.com for a couple of years with no problem. However my payments were less than 1/100th of the 20K you're considering.

 

I'd recommend you insist on doing it through his lawyer in the US in trust.

 

Um, how did you learn about this car? Is he selling it for quite a bit under market value?

 

Yeah he is selling it for quite a bit under value. That is why I think it is fishy. If it is too good to be true it probably is. But I have heard of a lot of people using escrow safely but I have never heard of this company. Plus I was wondering if it is possible to get ripped off by escrow some how? Aralls are you looking at a car also out of New York?

 

Would not do it. Smells really bad.

 

it's a scam. the "escrow" company may be completely fake.
