Scam?? I think so!!



  Megane
Emailed the below to ask about the Golf they were selling, my email is at the bottom, along with their response, lol what an Idiot, does he think I will believe that he will pay all that shipping cost to move around a 3 grand car? I mean please?

Just emailed him asking if he will take 3000 and how I can pay, should be interesting?:rasp:


Hi, I see you are interested of my car, first of all I have to tell you
that the vehicle is in good condition, has no technical damage at all,no
scratches or dents, no hidden defects, no smoking. It's fun and robust
to drive. Technical inspection and emissions testing is passed and
stamped as well.
It has title of ownership, cleared of any obligations or fees and comes
with all the documents you need to register it. The reason I am selling
the car is because I really have to not because I don't like it anymore.
I have worked in UK for the last 2 years and I've purchased the car
there.
My company wanted me back home, so currently I'm in Rome, Italy. I've
bring the car home with me and the car is here in Italy now. The car is
still registered in uk and has uk papers and plates. I decided that is
better to sell it because I don`t use it anymore (the wheel is on right
side and is very difficult for me to drive it in Italy) and it `s a pity
to keep such a car and not to use it. I realize that is a cheap price
for such a car but my special situation makes me do things that I
wouldn't do in normal circumstances.
The price I am looking for my car is £3200 including the shipping costs,
insurance and handling (delivery to EUROPE).
You will not have to pay additional taxes for this.
The car has MOT and Road tax unitl next year. Also has full service
history and it is hpi cleared.
Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

Thank you

My partner all most fell for a scam like this, but i stepped in to have a look and i relised it was a scam so i played along with it! they said they were from ireland, so i carried on getting all the details etc and 7 days later i recived a bankers draft for 6,000 pounds and it was from spain lol so i just gave it to the police to sort out, but i dont think they ever did!!

I have just
bought a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee and this is why I know how it works.

Does this imply that they've just bought and imported a jeep from england?? Oh but that too will be right hand drive and difficult to drive in italy!

N0bbers.
