Hi there,
Thanks for the quick response.I am so glad the car is available for
sale.if you dont mind i wouldlike the purchase it rightaway.purchasing this
car really means alot to me.I am buying it for my duaghter whom i never met
before.I just heard from her mums that he loved right hand driven cars that
is why i contacted you.I live in the heart of missourri usa,kansas city to
be precise.never mind the distance as i will take care of that.i will make
arrangement with a local shipping company here in kansas and they will be
coming for the car after i must have duely paid for it so dont get me
wrong, they will only come for the car after my cheque has fully cleared
in your bank and funds are in your account.if that is ok by you,pls email
me your full name and address to which you want your cheque sent to and
also include your phone number and the actual price.I hope your car
makes a perfect reunion gift.
Thanks

Eventually they will send you a fraudulent cheque for more than the amount of the car. They then ask you to send the difference by money union.
Check out www.419eater.com they follow these scams and scam the scammers. Some very funny stories on there! |
