Talk:Worldpay Group

Description
I'm in the process of looking for a new car. I contacted two sellers on Craigslist that had cars I was interested in, via email. Amazingly, almost an entire week later, both 'sellers' responded to me via email - on the same day - both with a first (male) and last name at an AOL address. I did a query on their ISP addresses and it came up in The Netherlands. Both emails were identical except for the details of the car. Both also provided a link to 'Photo Bucket' with numerous pics of the vehicles. Both were asking around $3,000 (US) for the cars - one exactly $3000 and the other just under that amount. Both 'sellers' stated that they were in Glasgow, UK and that the car(s) could be purchased through WorldPay. I was already suspicious after receiving the first 'seller's' response so ran a CarFax report on both VIN #s. According to the last title info/report, both vehicles are located in California and are without a current owner (personal/corporate, etc.) listed - only dashes. I also began investigating 'WorldPay'. The first article on this site states they've been in business since 1994 and are affiliated with the Royal Bank of Scotland. However, I strongly agree with the poster below - that content should be removed from this site. WorldPay is a SCAM. For your benefit, below is a copy of the 1st email response I received as well as a copy of a 2nd email in response to my inquiry about where the car was actually located - remember I said that both messages were idential except for the spex of the vehicles. Also note on the WorldPay website that their site is only recently copyrighted as of May 2008.
FIRST RESPONSE TO MY INQUIRY OF 'HIS' CRAIGSLIST POSTING:
Hello (deleted my name for this posting),
Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm in Glasgow (United Kingdom)right now and I have been very busy. Anyway, thank you for your interest in buying the car. The car is located in US right now and has US papers. Why is the price so low? I am here in UK with my new work and I cannot register the car here, as it is made for USA, according to USA standards. So all that I want to do now is to sell the car at this price, because I need to sell it fast(I already made a deposit here to buy me another). The title is clean and you will have absolutely no problems to register the car in the States.I will tell you a few words about the car..
 My 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport si with Automatic transmission it is in
 immaculate condition with 55,456 miles and have the VIN number:
 1J4GL48K52W357378, rust free, no scratch and hasn't been involved in any
 accident. The motor runs very well (6 CYLINDERS). The interior looks great.
 This car needs nothing, the title is clear, it is not a salvage one. I
 want this transaction to go smoothly enough as I am caught in the middle
 of some very important events and have little time at my disposal. I
 already have tons of emails so I hope you understand that I need to sort
 them out.
The price is $3,000 THIS IS MY LAST PRICE.I will not negotiate the price. I will take in consideration only those buyers who are really Interested in
buying the car ,to be sure that I don't waste my time with endless
discussions. This way, I shall be assured of the serious intentions.
you can see the pictures here:

So if you are interested please email me back for next step.
Regards !!

SECOND RESPONSE TO MY INQUIRY REGARDING THE LOCATION OF THE VEHICLE:
Hello (deleted my name for this posting),
As I told you in my first e-mail, I am in UK with my work. Before leaving US I had prearranged the deal with WorldPay www.worldpay-vehicles.com so my presence in US isn't necessary. The car and all the papers(title,etc..) are in their possession in US ready for delivery. You have 5 days to test and inspect the car.
I will be honest with you from the start. You won't be able to see the car before you make the deposit with Worldpay.
If you want to purchase the car please go to
http://www.worldpay-vehicles.com/accept-terms.php and follow the instructions. Also please make sure that you read the terms of the transaction before you purchase the car.
Regards!!

thread_title:  WORLD PAY USED FOR SCAM (Beware of postings on Craigslist!) 

message: The text says that Eurocard is accepted by Worldpay, with an internal link to Eurocard. This link goes to some bizarre hardware page and not the Eurocard credit care, unless I've completely misunderstood. I've removed the link. Kayman1uk 15:16, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eurocard 

message: WorldPay is definitely a legitimate organisation and some of the information in this discussion is innacurate and misleading. It was recently sold by the Royal Bank of Scotland and is one of the largest payment processing providers in Europe. You can view their website at: http://www.worldpay.com/index.php?c=UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Warren.singer (talk • contribs) 09:50, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: RBS acknowledge WorldPay at http://www.rbs.co.uk/business/cards-payments/g1/taking-payments.ashx. I have to say I find it quite bizarre that one of the world’s biggest payment processors is being accused of being a scam on the grounds mentioned in the various comments above — it makes no more sense than claiming that PayPal is a scam due to someone being conned on eBay. —Stephen Morley (talk) 15:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Worldpay is not a fraudulent company merely because some spammer is using it for the Nigerian scam. Is Western Union a fraudulent company because spammers want you to send them $1000 via Western Union? Spammers using Worldpay, or pretending to, as a payment source does not a scam make.

thread_title:  I don't this is a fair assessment 

message: I bought membership for RuneScape and the transaction was done via WorldPay which sent me an email affiliated with RuneScape so I can verify that they are not a scam but a real company.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.236.198.220 (talk) 02:29, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
