Dear sir,

I am an international business man, specialised in

dealing,purchasing and selling of AUTOS AND AUTO PARTS LIKE TIRES,CAR DOORS ENGINES,ETC.I also help my foreign client to ship there auto to any place of there desired

country or destination, most especially EUROPE, cause i have a shipper who takes

care of the shippment, so shipping will not pose any problem. Presently i have a client who has asked me to help him purchase an AUTOS AND PART subjected above which will be shipped to EUROPE. As i wasbrowsing through the internet, i saw your advert and i will like to purchase it formy client, but before payment will be made i need to be sure of who i will be dealing with if you are going to be honest and sincere throughout the transaction.So to start with, signify your interest by forwarding to me your

last offer as well as your method(s) of payment through the email, after which we can continue with the transaction and i promise if all conditions and agreement are accepted and reached on time, payment will be made out almost immediately.hoping to here from you as soon as possible.

 

Respectfully,

When I sold my RS Turbo I had mails like this a couple of times. Most were from people in Africa wanting me to ship the car to them & they would pay on delivery. Proper scam!

yeah im getting those to due im advertising mates car over the net

 

i just delete them :)

Yeah they are all scams. Avoid like the plague.

 

It seems like every person who tried to sell their cars on the net ends up with a few emails like this. Send him a reply, and tell him to stick his international deals up his backside...

 

The scammers aren't too smart are they.. I mean who the hell would import a MK2 Golf driver into Europe from the UK, when they probably having sprouting out of their ears in Germany!! :)

Just don't get involved! I really don't think that's the proper response - just ignore him - all he'll do is start using another email address. All you'll do is use up huge chunks of bandwidth & server

time/space...
