Offshore Google Checkout Fraud

C'mon people....
Why would anyone fall for this scam?
Why would someone send money to an offshore account, with a name like Costel Nutu, in the UK for a US company like Google?

The scam involves the fraud site:
http://vehiclemovers.zzl.org/
The template is a common Romanian scam site.

The scammers are posting fake ads for vehicles on the internet and are directing intended victims to the fake shipping site vehiclemovers.zzl.org
FSA Autos LTD. OFFICE:
1-11 Stuart, Darwin, NT 0800, Australia
821 N 27th St, Billings, Mt 59101
2417 Ponce De Leon Boulevard, Miami, FL 33134
726 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The scammers are then asking intended victims to pay for the fake vehicle ads by wiring money to a bank in the UK using the service they refer to as Offshore Google Checkout.
