This number has been linked to a recurring scam involving online vehicle sales, most notably on Autotrader. Multiple reports indicate that the scammer, often using the name 'Mike' and various email addresses, expresses interest in buying vehicles sight unseen and offers to pay both the asking price and an additional $200. The scammer urges sellers to remove their ads pre-emptively and promises to send an overnight certified check. This fraudulent activity appears designed to send fake checks and potentially commit identity theft. Reports advise avoiding giving out personal information or removing listings prematurely.
