Lol, Laura they do it to take your money, they do not have the car.

I've detailed the con in a thread for an RB 182, I listed how it all works.

I might consider making it a sticky.

Right,

Got a reply from the guy... But the email was sent from someone called David Lee, as opposed to the name of Armin Durren on the PH advert..

Hello ,

Thank you for your interest in purchasing my car.
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..
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. 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 pitty 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 £3,000 including the shipping costs,insurance and handling(delivery to EUROPE).
You will not have to pay additional taxes for this.
Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.If you are really interested i will send you my phone number to call me.
Thank you and have a nice day!

There you are, same scam as I put on the link.

 

[Johnc172]

Haha! Scam!

Be asking for your account number and sort code soon so they can clean the monies from the vault!

 

[Tyssen]

Idiots - do they think people will actually fall for it?

 

[sh33n]

Idiots - do they think people will actually fall for it?

Someone on here posted about someone who did.

Their "mate" bought a near new Z4 for like 8k and they wondered why the car never arrived.

 

[cat171]

Yeah as said, folk must fall for it, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

The giveaway from just seeing the ad is the price & lack of phone number (although that has one, but it's a duff number)

They will sometimes say that their phone is stuffed, so you have to emailed them up - I clocked a fiesta zetec s tdci '07 reg on AT the other day for 3k lol !! Way too cheap !

 

[Timmay]

f**king scammers

 

[benmore]

who in their right mind sends thousands of pounds 1 without viewing and 2 without seeing all "documents" they speak of? I mean jesus christ how stupid can people be

suppose ignorance and desperation to buy a nice car. they are looking to hook someone after a fast car but whose budget cannot afford the type r... such people would probly email at least and I suppose there is the remote possibility they may spend 3k on the net on a car without even viewing it!

not viewing a performance car and buying it is verging on retarded

 

[Josie172cup]

i might email him and pretend im going to buy it just to get his hopes up lol

Wanker

 

[cat171]

^ he won't care tbh, it's more than one person & they have hundreds of ad's on the go at once. Plenty of folk will email up about it.

 

[Josie172cup]

lol well lets every body on here send him an email

 

[Merk]

LMAO, I just bought an 05 plate CTR with 18k on the clock for 9k pmsl.
