There is a Kijiji vehicle scam that keeps appearing again and again. This scam is very clever compared to the standard scam. They create a fake J.P. Morgan Escrow account to steal your money. The idea behind this is that they want you to place a deposit down on the vehicle to secure it from being sold before you see it either in person or when it ships supposedly. They have then created a fake website of their own to make you believe this is a legit business when you Google them. And the kicker is that they make is look so convincingly that it is so cheap for them to ship to you that you may think why wouldn’t I have them ship the vehicle to you depending on where you live and that you can return the vehicle of no charge to you if you are not satisfied with the vehicle. Just to be clear THERE IS NO VEHICAL AT ALL, JUST PICTURES OF IT. Here is an email that is used to encourage you to buy from them:
Good morning,
This unit is in very good condition. No hidden problems, rips, tears, dings , scratches or leaks.

We had issues with our landline and internet . Now everything is fixed and you can call us anytime between 9 AM -6 PM.
The purchase can be made in two ways:
1st option: You must fly down to our dealership. The payment is done cash or cheque. You drive the vehicle back. This way you will save the shipping cost ( fuel cost) , which is 700-1000$ usually.
2nd Option:
$27590 CAD
41000 km The price includes shipping and taxes. Detailed pics have been attached.
To be safe on both parts, the financial part of the transaction will be made though a broker: J.P. Morgan Escrow

If you decide to proceed with the purchase, we will have to contact Escrow.com and provide them all the necessary information, so they can start the process right away. We will be needing your complete NAME,ADDDRESS and PHONE NR for that. J.P. Morgan Escrow will act like a third party / Broker , between our dealership and you.
You will buy under these terms: You will be instructed to deposit the money to an J.P. Morgan Escrow account. They will hold and insure the funds until receipt of the vehicle in good condition. As far as the seller - ourselves, we will be glad to know that J.P. Morgan Escrow has the possession of the money during the delivery period. That is our insurance. If you don't want to secure the entire amount with the broker before delivery, you can also secure 30% and the balance when shipping is done . For us it makes no difference , because we only get paid after ownership is changed.
As soon as we will have the confirmation from J.P. Morgan Escrow that the funds have been deposited in their account, we will immediately start the shipping process. The vehicle will be delivered to your address in no more than 5 calendar days. You will be given up to 5 business days ,as inspection period from the day you receive the vehicle at your location.
You will be able to take the vehicle to any mechanic, dealership or service you like and inspect it. If everything checks out , ownership is change and you will have to authorize J.P. Morgan Escrow to release the funds to us. Then, the transaction will be completed. If, after the complete inspection, you will not be satisfied with the vehicle, you will be able to refuse it and ask J.P. Morgan Escrow to return you the funds. No charges will be applied .We will have to cover the costs for return.
Though we are sure you will love it and will not want to return it, it is good to know that you do have this option available. If you wish to proceed with the purchase,please provide us with your full name and address so we could initiate the deal through J.P. Morgan Escrow right away.
The vehicle is automatically reserved for you , from the moment you email us your details.
