SCAMMER!
Contacted me with the exact same details!!!!
Cameron Smith

Asking me put money into an escrow account.
Don’t fall for his tricks!

Selling a Hyundai i30 on autotrader right now and I suspect a Suzuki swift as well. I got the email from the RAAF email Cameron Smith, identical to above, in tassie, moving to NZ etc etc. reported to auto trader.

Exact same BS from a Cameron Smith. Really a deployment to NZ?? Are we at war with them?

Caller: Cameron Paul Smith

Same message as above, my daughter wanting to buy her first car.
The 2015 Hyundai i30 Active. Auto Trader.
Number was 0447 557 819

Caller: Cameron smith

Same story found his Hyundai i30 and took a while to email back said the last person had messed him around with funds. Said he was in tas for special training and going to nz on 4th of December. Has a new number 0447 557 819 and used the email cameron @ royal-australian-airforce-gov.com

Hi, recently was looking for a car. Seen an ad for a 2013 toyota hilux for $13500,car was completely kitted out with all the extras. Had said his name was cameron smith,e-mail cameron @ royal-australian-airforce-gov.com. said he was being deployed to new Zealand and was based down in devonport Tasmania till he was to leave for 4 yrs,also said he wouldn't need the car as he didn't want it sitting in a garage for 4 yrs whilst he was overseas. Also told me he would have the car delived to my address,given I put the money into escrow and he'd give me 7 days to go over the car and all fees would be paid by him. Do not trust this person. Hope this helps anyone who also came across this poor pathetic excuse of a human.

He is now as Cameron Smith
Pretty disgusting.

Name provided by scammer- Cameron Smith

He provided the same story and I unfortunately sent him a photo of me with my license. I am thankful that I was able to find this forum before sending the scammer any money.

He provided me with this number 0447 517 819 so I believe he has updated his phone number. I have reported it with Carsguide.

The guy is selling a 2015 Mazda 3 on auto trader. Red flags all over it. Same narrative as above.

Same deal for me over the weekend. Looking at a 2013 Hyundai, i30, Active. Name was Cameron Paul Smith (again holding the licence details of him). The mobile number is 0480 001 829. At this point he is waiting for the money to be put into his escrow account...certainly not happening. One thing I am annoyed at is that I sent photos of drivers licences for myself and my husband and that it could be used for potential further “scams”. I have contacted CarsGuide to advise them, informed the Bank, contacted department of transport and spoken with the police and now raised a cyber gov request to ensure that my identity will not be used and to potentially getting a new one. Anyway, giving that info just in case someone else hears from this person as well

Caller: Through carsguide

Guy was Cameron Smith - claiming he was heading to New Zealand - currently in Tasmania waiting for deployment - fully kitted hilux advertised for $13500 and based on Sydneys North Shore - had email address @royal-australian-airforce.com

Caller: same person

I had emails with the same guy, sent me a photo of "him" holding a QLD licence, same number given in an email

Caller: David John

Another number he uses 0488 860 954. Same deal as everyone else. Same story even about the last person mucked him around and couldnt get the funds.

Same guy, same story, same Hyundai, today on car sales, Sydney

Caller: Mitchell Smith

Same as all of the above

2014 mazda 3 for $7000 told me he was based in Devonport TAS and he needed to get rid or the car before he was shipped out to NZ for 3 years. Wanted to go through Escrow, sent me pictures of “himself” holding “his” drivers license.
Way too good to be true, it’s one thing to commit fraud but to impose as one of our countrys’ defense soldiers? Hope this f$@ker gets what’s coming to him
