Car Buyers Beware! There is a scam going on now, someone will try to sell you a car at a very low price because they are in financial trouble. Their location will be miles and miles away from you, but they will e-mail you nice pictures of the car you are buying from them, and will say for your protection and as well as theirs, your transaction will be through GOOGLE CHECKOUT. This is now your clue, that this is bogus because Google does not take any money or any wire transfers,only credit cards. So when  you think you are wiring your money through Google Checkout, you are wiring it directly to them.
