Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.

THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THIS SCAM IS TO NOT PAY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU HAVE VIEWED AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE YOURSELF

Only an idiot or a scammer would expect a buyer to pay money for a car that he has never seen

NEVER buy a car where the seller has obscured the registration number - he's hiding something (but it doesn't stop me finding where he's stolen the photos from)
