My old focus has been on autotrader for no more than 24 hours and already i've had 2 fraudsters trying it on. I've replied to them to see what comical story they come back with.....this was one reply, do people really fall for this?



Hii ,

Good morning !! You pretty sound good to me and am quite elated the car is still available for sale and thanks for the time taking for the details you've just provided about the car , am quite excited to hear from you the car is still in good conditions.

Please i want you to be sincere with me at this point i should be convience this car is genuiely owned by you and i hope all the relevant papers document is fully completed and available as well just for safety sale assurance.

Honestly speaking am getting the car unbehalf of my wife whom i just got married with two weeks ago.She is from uk in scoltland.Presently she is in malmo sweden my native country .
Am sure you will quite agree with me in uk they use to right hand drive (RHD) and over there in sweden we are use to left hand drive (LHD).She really find it soo difficult to drive my car which i left for her due to the position of the steering and she wouldn't want to risk her life to drive my car.Therefore she instructed me to buy her a uk car in britain which is she normally used to drive in scoltland.

My wife needed a car right now due to the distance from her working place to house is about an hour drive.

Am sure she will be excited have got one for her in british design 'right hand drive ' and am counting on you now to consider the car sold to me most expecially for my wife sake.
Without taking much time i should be arranging for the payment and shipping process right away hopefully before this week runs down.

Please with due respect i would like you to email me more pictures if is still available both the exterior , interior and the engine , i would really appreciate that soo much because it would not be possible for me to come for the viewing due to my course programme in wales and as for the price i will offer you £4350 GBP just becuase i know the worth of the car and moreso what you' ve stated about the car details in the advert and in additional including the advert charges you've spent soo far .

Am quite delighted and satisfied what you've mention soo far about the car and as for the shipping cost you have nothing to worry about ok!! i will take care of that myself have already make an enquiry with a private shipping cargo company who's going to handle it professionally for me both the shipping cost and other necessary development concerning the shipment of the car such as cost of insurance,bill of lading and custom charges etc,because the car will be finally ship down to malmo sweden.Apart from the car being shipped at your location there is other consignments the shipper will need to ship for me in some state in uk but have made it clear to him your location will be his first arrival before moving to any other destination .

However,as for the payment status the it will be endorse inform of a united kingdom bankers draft(GBP) issue by united kingdom bank british base which am going to instruct my business associate post you uk bankers draft via register postal mail. Please Keep note YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS ONLINE FOR THE PAYMENT.The payment will be post to you inform of bankers draft.
The bankers draft is going to clear in any bank in united kingdom my bank advised and it will take maximum of 3 to 4 days working days to fully cleared .

Mind you am 100 percent agree with you the payment must fully matured INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT FOR VERIFICATION BY YOUR BANK MANAGEMENTS before i can legally own the vehicle and once you've confirm the payment clearance and the money is finally available in your bank account the car should be hand over to the shippingagent and papers document aswell once they arrive your location. Am from sweden but presently located in uk wales on course programmes.

Thanks soo much and i really appreciate your time taking to response to my enquiry.Hopefully to hear back from you today in order to proceed further with the payment and shipping arrangements as soon as possible. I look forward to hear back from you today.

Cheers...

paul.

yeah, that's the guy......the 'paul' bit at the end of that post was from his mail.
 
Ask him where in Wales, which university his programming course is.

Tell him your "agent" Mr Mejinks is an escrow agent and will visit him personally if it is convenient.

Then do the usual OCUK loaf of truth with that days newspaper and a sign saying he is a rtard
 
Because for every x squillion emails they send out, they get a bite, and they send out eleventy billion emails a day, I suppose.

Scammers are stupid, but there are people more stupid than them so it can work - that's why they continue to do it.
 
but think of his wife, she'll have to walk or risk her life in a lefty :D..


ask for some pictures of him with some bread on his head just to prove its him :cool:

the whole point is that they try and con you without actually seeing you.....they dont seem to realise that car deals are usually done face to face and with cash.
