I hate scammers!

[Sash]

Cut a long story short. I was looking for a Jeep Grand Cerokee for my friend and came across this one, http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/742702.htm It looks mighty cheap although i thought it could of been a typo and was meant to be £19995 which would seem more accurately priced! Any way i emailed him and asked if it was the correct price and where was he based so we could have a look.

These are the emails exchanged. And yes i uspected it to be a scam so i went along with it...

Hi ,
Thank you for contacting me about my MERCEDES-BENZ ML280 CDI SPORT AUTO, in excellent condition.The price i want to sell it is £9995 .About the car: it is in immaculate condition and has not a scratch on and hasn't been involved in any accidents.The motor runs very well.

Reg. Date: 29 Sep 2007

The car was always garage kept,showroom condition. The title is clear ,it is not a salvage one.
Please email me if you want to buy or if you have more questions.
Thank you very much,Ricky Graley

I replied, Where are you can I view the car.

The response;

Even from the begining I would like to mention you the fact that the car is for the moment in Spain.
I bought the respective car in UK but due to some unexpected causes I had to move together with my fam
ily in Spain . Because of the fact that the car has its wheel on the right side it is quite hard for me to drive it here.
So I chose to sell it in the united kingdom.
Thus, in order to facilitate a possible delivery I already signed a contract with a shipping company from spain.
If you are still interested in buying it do not hesitate to ask me for further details concerning it as well as the delivery company

Thought Id try an alternative reply other than get lost
I can collect from Spain I'm flying out next week, and would love to collect it and bring it back! I will pay cash on collection.

Thanks.

I knew what was coming next.

I have signed a contract and they will act as a third party, they will keep the funds into their bank account during the shipping and deivery process.
The funds will be transfered into my account only when you instruct them to, after delivery and, of course, after your acceptance.Also, they can refund you in full if you reject the car for any reason, without extracharges.

Let me know if interested to go ahead and I will give you the shipping's company details to get in touch with them.

Thank you

Got bored by now. So replied with this.

[allyrs]

trying to buy my sis a tt and came accross the exact same scam but in portugal. I responded in the same way as you.... no reply!

 

[Pettsi]

Seems genuine to me!

 

[Sash]

I only told a little white lie, im not going to spain, but cyprus instead lol

It really makes me wonder how anyone falls for theses scams after getting an email like they send.

A guy on here had a female relation that bought a Z3 for £8k or something rediculous like that off a scammer.

Lost the lot.

Gotta be pretty stupid/naive imo.

A while ago a dude claimed to have a vee for sale, I played along - it had four seats too (well so he said)

This is what I wrote...



I'ts back on there now, so I reported it again.

I'm going to string the 'seller' of it along a bit.

New reply, to him....

Hi,

sorry I was away on business (farming convention, quite boring)

I have a few questions regarding your vehicle, before I complete the purchase.
How many seats does it have it in it ?? Reason being is that i'd need somewhere for my goat to sit when I go out in the car as it likes to come with me.

As you can probably tell from my address, I live on a farm in Wales, i'm Welsh you see.
My main interest in your car is so that I have something eye catching for when I go out in town, I like my ladyboys to look at me, thing is with my tractor they weren't that keen on the look, so I feel the need for the car.

Please reply to me asap with the number of seats & to whether or not you feel that my goat would like it.

Regards

David.
