I just read this over at the J-Body forum:http://www.j-body.org/forums/r...34862Thought I would post here to let you know to keep your guard up.Quote, originally posted by Jackalope at J-Body.org »I just had this happen to me so I thought I'd pass it along as a warning for you all.My wife was checking our bank account on-line this morning and she saw a charge of $29.00 made to Auto Trader.com thinking I did something she caled and asked me, Ihadn't. I contacted Auto Trader.com and was told that on Saturday my wife, rather someone pretending to be her, set up an account to sell a car. A 2004 Toyota Cameryfor $8900.00. Problem is we've NEVER owned a Camery or any Toyota for that matter.Auto Trader.com was very nice about the whole thing they pulled the add and reversed the charges, then they asked me about the 6 other cars I listed with them on Sunday.I told them I never contacted them every to sell any cars. Turns out a total of 7 cars was listed as my wife being the seller, They have our home address & all her info. I contacted the states attornies office and let them know whats happened thats when I was told about a great new scam that now I'm a part of. Say you buy one of these non-existant cars from someone who you think is me, then you send them the money and wait............ and wait.......... and no car. Who are you going to contact? ME!! And I won't know what the hell your talking about but since you have all my wifes info I bet we'd winde up in court somewhere while the real theif is gone with your cash. BE CAREFULL out there cause it seems like these theives are everywhere. Luckily we caught on fast enough and we're getting this fixed but if we hadn't checked our bank account daily we could have been screwed big time.
