[scam] Car donation on jannonce.fr

I wanted to warn you that at the moment, there are several car donation scams on the site J'annonce. I have three people who contacted me supposedly to give me their car, which, coincidentally, is in Africa, and I have to pay transportation fees... The fees vary between 500 euros and 150 euros...
Be careful.

      Hello, thank you for your message because I too was about to be taken in by this old woman who gives away a car without a driver's license. This lady told me that I needed to call this number 0022998224276 so that I could make an appointment with the delivery person and pay 199 euros in fees to have the car shipped to my home in the 80 in the Somme. Thanks again, Cedric.

    Encore une grosse arnaque!!!!!!!

    INDEED I AM NOT SELLING MY CAR WITHOUT A LICENSE, BUT THE SMALL PROBLEM IS THAT I WILL NOT BE PRESENT TO TAKE CARE OF IT BECAUSE I AM CURRENTLY ON A WORK TOUR.
    I AM A CIVIL SERVANT FOR THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAM (WFP) AND IT IS THEREFORE DUE TO THIS VERY SUDDEN TRANSFER THAT I DECIDED TO GIVE MY CAR AWAY IN GOOD CONDITION. I AM CURRENTLY IN BENIN FOR THIS MISSION.
    I AM DONATING THIS CAR IN ORDER TO FIND IT A GOOD HOME THAT WILL BE ABLE TO CARE FOR IT AT ITS TRUE VALUE. REGARDING THE CAR, I HAVE CONFIDED IT TO A DELIVERY PERSON NAMED Mr. CHRISTAIN POYET IN CORSICA (FRANCE).
    IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE LEAVE ME YOUR COMPLETE ADDRESS SO THAT I CAN CONFIDE IT TO THE DELIVERY PERSON FOR DELIVERY TO YOUR HOME.

    HERE ARE THE CAR CHARACTERISTICS:
    Edition: NISSAN
    Registration date: 5-2001
    Mileage: 80,000 km
    Bodywork: 4/5 doors
    Fuel: diesel
    Color: blue
    Transmission: manual gearbox
    Power: 15 hp
    Options
    radio/CD, airbag(s), electric windows, central locking, power steering, air conditioning,
    Attached are the car photos.

    The car delivery is free, so please leave me your home address for delivery.
    **I asked how much the delivery from Corsica to 54 would cost
    His response: The car has all its papers up to date. The vehicle papers are with the delivery person. I do not plan to return in 4 to 6 months and I give you the car, the car cannot be taken back. But you only have the donation certificate to complete, this certificate certifies that the car is now yours and on the day of delivery, you must have this certificate as well as your identity card. This certificate must be made out in your name and surname, so you must send me the fees for this certificate which amount to €103. Therefore, it is after completing this certificate that you will get the car. Without this certificate, the delivery person will not be able to deliver the car to you.
    **I replied that I did not trust
    His response: Mr. please tell me what you have with you so that I can help you and please have confidence. You can contact the delivery person at: 0233901558
    If you have another means, please let me know.
    This seller is named morgan duvent

    Hello, I was also about to get scammed for a car without a license in Benin. They asked me to make a transaction via Western Union for 200 euros. But my post office employee told me not to do it because, on one hand, you can't do it for a transport company, and that it's a big scam, so I didn't do it.

    Thank you, I am Magali. A bit logical, but I thought this old lady was telling me the truth. I almost got fooled, but I saw your message because I was looking for the company of this agency in Benin. I will be able to deal with this person my way because frankly, it's disgusting that these people take advantage of vulnerable individuals. Thank you anyway for your information. We should block this site j'annonce.com.

      Magali,
      the site is not to blame and all sites, free or not, do not control the ads. Internet users need to be careful and must know the value of the item they want to buy: a 3-year-old BMW for €5000, don't dream; a nearly new motorhome for less than €10,000, don't dream; donating a dog or car, there's no need to post an ad online, there are enough unfortunate or needy people in your surroundings, and it avoids transportation costs!!
      I know very well that there will always be unscrupulous people who take advantage of those in need.

        "The site is not to blame, and all sites, free or not, do not have control over the ads."
        I disagree: here on ccm, we are all volunteers and yet we still have some tools at our disposal to carry out additional checks when a participant's IP locates them in a "risky" country (that is to say, countries where scammers specialize in this type of fraud). It is enough, initially, to create filters and check the filtered interventions before editing them.

        It seems that leboncoin is starting to timidly use this method since a number of scammers occasionally come to this forum to ask for help in posting ads on leboncoin because they can no longer manage to do so.

        This is not a universal remedy, but it allows at least 80% of dubious interventions... or dubious ads if it is a site for sales between individuals.

        If these sites do not implement anything, it may simply be because they do not consider it useful to pay staff for this.

    Yes, you're right, but I'm in Morocco and they tell me that the car is in France and the owner is in Benin. But it's easy to know the good from the bad; you just have to use another address or say that you live in France, in the same city where the car is located, to find out if they are scammers or not.

    IMPORTANT :
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The interventions in this discussion lack precision: to be useful to others and hinder the activities of these small "businesses", it would be preferable to copy on this forum:

    1 - the received emails (being careful to remove your personal information)
    not forgetting:
    2 - the email address or addresses used.
    3 - the address of the site where you found this ad (with, if possible, the references of the ad)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Thank you for your cooperation :)

      For now, the best way is to testify as you just did.

      - This way, people who do an internet search on any of the words you posted (the name, the email address, the fake carrier site) will come across your testimony and stop the transaction.
      example:
      Google search with the name of the carrier
      [Google search with "delphine saby"


      - I just reported the fake carrier site to aa419.org and it should be closed soon.

    Hello, your idea is great!!! Because I tried to post an ad on J'annonce and it only stayed on the site for a few hours. Those few hours were enough for several people to send me emails about the scams they had all fallen victim to. One for a dog (offering my chihuahua...), others for a motorcycle, a quad, a tractor, a horse... and yes, they are everywhere. (These people who got scammed all sent between 150 and 600 euros for so-called transportation fees.) I contacted the newspaper and Mrs. X replied that she couldn't do anything (I suppose she couldn't delete the scammers' ads, but mine, which simply warned people, was indeed removed). As for the little note at the top of each page in red that we talked about, it's still not there!!!

    Hello to all those who are considering buying a cheap car, there are scams of all kinds on the site "J'annonce", about 10% of the ads are scams. It is the duty of "J'annonce" to control the listings that come to their site, and they should even be held responsible for the scams found there. Why don't we see this in the central site? Be careful, never buy a car that is abroad, even if it's given for free, and definitely do not send any money, you can be sure you won't see it again. Always check the vehicle, verify the identity, the non-pledge certificate, and the registration document with the chassis number of the vehicle; if these three elements do not match the same name, do not insist, it's a scam. Once again, this should be the responsibility of "J'annonce". Good luck to everyone.

    Hello
    I want to thank you for warning me. I came across someone who says they want to sell a car
    and it is actually located in Africa, in Togo, and I was supposed to pay a fee of £250.
    Did they share a photo of the vehicle? They had a very nice one for £1000. When I read your ad, it was
    4 AM and it chilled me. Thanks again.

    I realized it when I noticed that the French was pathetic. And also almost free.
    You should also know that 1000 € in Belgium/France/... is worth 10 times more in Africa, so it's definitely a scam.

    Personally, I didn't receive any more threats afterward, but you have to be careful. It's pathetic that they don't remove ads like that when they're reported more than once (the problem is that they use a false country number to hide that it's in Africa).

    I just came across the same scam for an agricultural tractor, I'm not born yesterday even though it doesn't rain often in Benin.

    I reported it to Anngri, who immediately removed this ad from their site.

      Hello Tam,
      Thank you for your testimony, but can you tell us what happened?
      Also, can you indicate:
      - the name of the scammer (fake name or, even worse, identity stolen from a former victim)
      - their email
      - their phone number
      This way, others searching for this information can be warned.

    Saw the forum "en passant".. Goodness! I didn't imagine so many "trapped"! Proof that they are right to continue!
    It's not "currently" that there are these kinds of scams and not just on cars!
    EVERYTHING IS GOOD... (dogs, horses, cars, motorcycles, etc..)
    The method is simple.
    1) They exploit free ad websites
    2) They copy photos from other sites (real sellers) the most beautiful ones to lure (even if it means getting the breed wrong when it comes to animals)
    3) They offer Donation or free and as soon as you contact them, they position themselves as victims of fate, "abroad" and "forced to part" for any reason...
    4) Shipping/customs fees come just after "when you are well engaged = hooked"
    It is NO LONGER free, but still.. you tell yourself: at a lower cost, given "the beauty" or "the value" of "the object", it's a bargain...
    5) Unfortunately, NO MATTER what you pay, YOU will NEVER see a dime!! IT'S NON-EXISTENT!
    Read ads/setbacks, and you can easily imagine the number of "pigeons" = VERY profitable for them
    + You will have no recourse!
    Conclusions: Watch out for DONATIONS "on valuable products" (Don't dream, nothing is free in life!)
    and CUT SHORT as soon as they are situated "abroad".

    There are people from Ivory Coast who buy everything you sell, but with increasingly high fees to be paid via Western Union. They are first-class scammers because your money is lost and no sales or purchases will be made. Do not let yourself be fooled by these unscrupulous internet pirates. See you later.
