A very common online fraud that is going on right now is the so call "luxury car bluff". A fraudulent person will post a car for sale on an online sales forum. It is typically a really desirable car, such as a luxury car, sports car or rare collector's car. To lure in plenty of interested buyers, the car is offered for a really low price. Sometimes there will be a short explanation for the low price to prevent suspicion. There is also plenty of photos and detailed descriptions to make the add look reputable. (Photos and information is often taken directly from another, true car that is being offered at another car sale site. If you do an online search for the information, you may actually find the car that the information has been taken from.) The aim of this scam is to get interested buyers to contact the conman. When an interested buyer makes contact, the conman will tell him that the car is still available, but located overseas. He will then ask the buyer to make a deposit. Most buyers find this perfectly reasonable, because who would want to start shipping a car overseas without at least getting a deposit first. A deposit is sent via wire transfer, but no car will ever appear. When the buyer starts investigating the subject, the "seller" will have vanished from the face of the earth.
