SCAMMER!!!
Be careful with the scams on Autotrader, my mum once went to have a look at a car which turned out to be a scam of getting a deposit and running, it was all very dodgy and the "couple" had two other blokes with them who looked like bouncers. Luckily she realised it was a scam and just told them it wasn't the car for her. It wasn't advertised cheap though, so wasn't an obvious scam until she got there.

I decided to email him on an old email account. Here is the reply
Hello there, I'm very glad that you like my car and I can only say that you have good taste about cars! Although I am registered in the UK,i recently moved to Spain (where my family is from) and the car is being shipped from here. I want to sell it in UK due to the fact that it's an UK version (right handed),it meets all UK standards.I bought this car from UK and It still has UK registration, so you won't have to pay any import and insurance fees.The car meets United Kindom DOT and EPA guidelines so there will be no problem regarding UK Customs policy on receiving the car.The car is in perfect condition, the bodywork is immaculate,no scratches, dents or hidden defects as well as the interior in excellent non-smoking condition , never been implied in any accident and it is as advertised .The car comes with log book, HPI cleared, (it's lien free).. You will get from me the keys and all documents to register the car.If the car is not how i described it, i will offer a full refund. It will be insured during transportation and will be delivered at your address in maximum 10 days. Final price is GBP 8,000 (the price includes shipping and insurance fees).The price is low because the car is right hand drive in a country where all cars are left hand drive so in the Spain is very difficult to drive this type of vehicle ( and also the fees to register it here are really high). Nobody wants to buy it and instead of keeping it in garage I decided to sell it to someone back in the UK. I want to take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legitimate,the financial part of this deal will be managed by a third party,this way both of us will be protected. Let me know if you need any further details or if you would like to buy my 2007 BMW 730D. Thank you |

REEKS of typical SCAM. Apart from stating the car type at the end (rather awkwardly), you can use this letter for any car.
I followed up one of these when the guy said he lived in Northern Itlay. I said, no probs, I'll just pop down and collect. ----- Silence Not meaning you Exotica, but it is amazing how some people's blind desire to get a bargain makes them ignore warnings that arrive with a fanfare on the back of pink elephants.

Sounds like the bloke I just ordered my 335i from
oooops? Along with the $1M inheritance money I'm due from Nigeria, to which I sent them all my bank details. |

The sad thing is, is that these scams often work.
I read this recently: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/cbc/09011...ada_email_scam There is a photo of him somewhere crying like a baby. I really don't have any sympathy for suckers like this.

His follow up
Hello Due to the fact that i am located outside UK and we can not deal in person,i`ve contacted Yahoo regarding this issue and they told me that they could offer to me a program that is created especially for international transactions that protects both of us.They agreed to supervise this deal. You will send the funds to Yahoo and they will keep the money until you receive the vehicle and test it.In this way both buyer and seller are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction.They will hold and insure your money until receipt of the car in good condition. That is how their service is working. As far as the seller concerns, i will be glad to know that Yahoo is in possession of the funds during the delivery period. You will be given a 15 days inspection period from the day you receive the car at home( i will ship it to your address insured for full value to you ). If you decide to keep the car, then you will have to authorize Yahoo to release the funds to me, and the transaction is complete.If the vehicle is not as described ( perfect interior,exterior,mechanical condition ), you will be able to send the vehicle back through the same shipping company ( return postage at my expense ), and ask Yahoo to return the money to you. If you wish to purchase it and agree to these terms i will need you to provide your full name and address. I will then notify Yahoo and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure. I will be waiting for your reply as soon as possible Thank you in advance |
