  • I actually know the same transaction you are talking about. They tried getting me to send $15,500 to them and then they would ship the car. I called google itself to see if there was a transaction and they said no based on the ID number as it was not long enough. Same car a 2008 Lexus IS F bought out of denver and they want to ship from Fresno, CA. Fraudulent it is sorry you got taken advantage of but I do have submitted the info to Google as well.

  • These people are still alive and well, now named Sandra and Marcel Lang. They are trying to sell a 2003 Aston Martin by saying they work through Google Wallet. They claim the car will ship after you pay Google Wallet who gives you 5 days to get out of deal before giving them the money. Of course Google Wallet has no such program. A copy of one of their emails to me follows;

    Hello again Larry,
    Please check the attachment for photos and a full Carfax report which includes the VIN.
    We are out of town at the moment. The car together with all the paper work including the title and a bill of sale signed by my husband and notarized are at the shipping company in Delray Beach, FL in a sealed container ready to go and they will open it only in my husband presence. We want to use this service because it offers us peace of mind and it allows us to sell the car in this manner. Also closing the deal through Google Wallet will assure us that you have the money and you won't waste our time. They will hold and secure your money during the entire transaction and will release the funds to us only after you decide to keep the car. You will get a 5-day inspection period starting in the day the car arrives at your door(All this time Google Wallet holds the money) and if you are not 100 % satisfied with the car you can send it back and you'll receive a full refund from Google Wallet in no time. They will charge us with the shipping fees for sending back the car (actually as I said in my previous email the whole shipping service is for free).
    If you agree with this process, please let us know if you have the money available and you are ready to move forward and we'll send you more details about the Google process.
    Regards
    Sandra M Lang

    Fortunately this didn't cost me anything because I recognized it as a scam. Hopefully someone can stop this before they scam someone else.
