Default Auto Auction Fraud

Internet auction fraud involving the sale of automobiles purported to be located outside of the United States. The typical fraud involves an auction for a vehicle said to be in Europe, and for which the buyer pays with Western Union or other wire transfer mechanism. The buyer does not receive his or her automobile in these auctions, and the money is not recoverable.

If you have received this, or a similar hoax, please file a complaint at www.ic3.gov.

I have heard of this as well. I try to stay away from scams like this.

Not too many people are worried about flooded cars, but it's one of the top issues you should be worried about. In Houston 20,000 homes and cars were flooded with $1 Billion in damage. Thousands of cars and trucks were abandoned as rising waters flooded I-10, I-59, and I-45. By law, the titles of these cars will be "totaled" or branded as "flooded" by insurance companies, and many will be laundered back to used car status in these states or others.Not too many people are worried about flooded cars, but it's one of the top issues you should be worried about.
