Exclamation Is this a scam? Shipping a car with www.uship-worldwide.com

Hi Pelicans,

I would appreciate any help possible with this.

I am interest in a car and the owner has instructed me to contact www.uship-worldwide.com so I can complete the purchase. I tried searching Google and I can't find much on this company. They are not www.uship.com.

My first though is that this is a scam. Below is the info from the seller.


Thanks for your help.

-----------------

Hello,

The car, the title, two sets of keys, manuals and some service history records is what you will get from the uShip WorldWide. The car belonged to my father who recently passed away. I arranged for the sale right before I left the country. I propose to close the deal through www.uship-worldwide.com, in the most safe and easiest way possible for both of us. Basically, it's similar to buying a car locally, the money will be sent to their holding account, and they will keep the money until you will receive the car. After the car is delivered, you will have a 7 days inspection period before you decide if you wish to keep it or not. If you are serious about buying the car, I will ship it anywhere you want with no extra cost

To be able to start this transaction you need to register on the shipping company website:

www.uship-worldwide.com


Thank You,

XXXXXXX
