Hi Will

The car is still up for sale. I will take some more pictures of the car tomorrow and will send them to your email address. I am happy with a Wire Transfer but would need to make sure that the money has entered my bank first before I would give you the car.

You are more than welcome to come and have a look around the car.

Thanks


I didn't even send him the pics of my car, but he then sent

MR WILL.

What do you lot think of that? It looks just a little bit dodge to me. Does anyone accutally know how safe a wire transfer is, can they take the money back? I don't think I'm going to go ahead with his idea well I can't anyway because I haven't got a HSBC or BARCLAYS account, I might see if he will pay cash but you know he will not do that. Has anyone got any good ideas to send him back?

Thanks Ian

Sounds a little fishy to me.

[rotoryboy]

Leave it alone. It is the Nigerian scam that everyone knows about.

[merlin's S4]

NO NO NO and NO again!!! Don't even think about it, it's a total scam! There's already details of such scams on the forum so do a search or maybe someone can explain it better than me!

SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SimonS4MTM]

I have a cheque in my drawer at work for £28k from one of these scams.

Leave them well alone

[europeanme]

looks decidedly dodgy!!!!...

[dan_b]

SCAM SCAM SCAM - AVOID at all costs! For goodness sake don't give him any of your contact or bank details

[ian_jemo]

Cheers guys, I thought it was a Scam

[MidnightBlueS2]

A friend of mine at work is married to a Nigerian and she knows these scammers well :mischeif: ( well, not personally, she's been to Nigeria and stuff and saw them working in front of their computers )
They make a pretty good living off honest people...

STAY AWAY !!!

[A6 2,7Biturbo]

I got a similar mail last week, pure scam

[~Delta]

It doesn't sound or look fishy, it IS fishy! Don't even wear out your keyboard replying such emails. They are scumbags of the worst kind.

[B300ABT]

Scam

The great thing about this scam is that not only do they get your car, but they also get the change that you send them to cover their overpayment!

[Fat Audi 80]

I can't remember what the website is, but there is a great story where some guy tried to bust some of these scammers. He had photo's of them and everything...

P.S. In case you weren't sure your email is from a scammer!

[Rusty]

RUN! Scam wirtten all over it. Send them an email cancelling the deal. Don't give them any personal details and if they persist threaten legal action to shut them up.
