Baz..... with most scammers your not dealing with kiddies having a bit of fun on school holidays, your dealing with
well healed crime gangs who have a world wide interest involved in a range of other illegal activities..
Using fake money has been going on for years and I would say purchasing a car by cash needs "vasts" amount of cash..... we are not talking a few hundred or thousand dollars here.
If we were talking a few hundred or a thousand dollars nobody would purchase a car from interstate once freight has been taken in..... unless it was something very unique, if it was very cheap you would have local buyers fronting up at dawn.
PLUS it would have to ring alarm bells if someone turned up with $10,000 in cash.... why are they taking the risk carrying that much cash, where did they get it from..... why don't they want anyone to know about it.
The bad thing with cash is there is no paper trace and seeing we are all experts (not) at picking fake money we should not be alarmed then.
I don't know if you have had any dealings with these
well organised crime gangs but I can assure you they show a "genuine interest".
Why do you think sensible people get caught out including business owners..... sure me being so gullible I'll wire you the $108,965 You need for the life saving operation on your ONLY son who is 5 years old....... Thank you so much sucker, when I get his insurance money through I'll send you $1,234,567,0000 for kindly help me...... SIGNED CORPORAL REGINALD .J. BARTHOMUE - Head of
Police.
Again most who get caught is from greed and the scammers you are not dealing with are not work experience guys or idiots.
So whats you advice to see if someone is showing "genuine interest"
BTW cash is not the medium for most of our daily transactions.... go to the local shopping center and see how many customers deal in cash...... for me I'm lucky to carry $20 in my wallet.
We get maybe 1 in 20 customers who pay cash.
Pay with cash and there is no paper trace.
