I think I have found the related website which is of a template style that we've seen before.

I'll need to check it out a little more.

TRANSGLOBE LOGISTIC Limited - Company

The website doesn't comply with UK or EU regulations regarding details for an incorporated company.

They offer an escrow service and from 1 November 2009, all UK escrow services need to be registered with the FSA - it isn't.

The terms are actually a little confused and baffling.

The seller after receiving the data (name, last name, social security number, address, zip code, city, country and telephone number), has to deposit the car at our company.
After the car has been delivered it will be checked by our technicians. You must make payment to our society as a deposit between 10% and 50% from the total price of the car (depending on the value of the car you want to buy) , in this way is protected both the seller and the buyer.

Social security number ? Zip code ? Checked by their technicians ? Why ?

You must make payment to our society ? Why ?

If neither the seller nor the forwarder are known to you, the transaction is twice as risky.

I thought at first that perhaps the website had lost something in translation but it does purport to be an English company, so you'd expect it to make sense in English, if not in another language.

Cost for transportation is through the promotion of 280 euro per round, and 280 € for the return.

Why would you send your car on a return trip ? It seems to represent some bizarre sale or return offer the like of which is unknown in Europe.

If you're buying a car, go and view it first. You save 500 Euros and get a car at the end of it.

One of many examples of the same scam that has been reported by and they use the same wording from the website, except this seller offers to pay the transport fees.

Welcome to Scamwarners Herbert.

I had already noticed that and it's all valuable information.

I don't want to sound like a broken record as I have made my views clear many times before. You probably don't have a full picture of the size of the problem and we get at least one new victim a day, as it's not just car sales involved.

It will require a concerted effort as there are various separate gangs in operation and if you just focus on one scammer, you'll end up fumbling about in the dark. Different gangs can be identified by how they operate and their preferences. A successful gang will stick to what works for them, but if they know they're being tracked they'll change tactics.

It's a matter of collecting information and hoping you get the right information that enables you to act. Until that's possible the best that can be done is to take away their means of laundering stolen funds.
