Couldn't find the last post about it, anyway it's on there again tonight, so I wrote this to them.....


Hi there,
where in london are you ? as i'm quite interested in the car & would like to look at at it.
One question on the price, the price is quite a lot for such a car though, it's only really worth about £4000.00 Would you accept that for it ??
Thanks.

 

[Peperami]

Cliosport pricing ftw!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Lol ^^^

 

[Mark One]

why is it a scam apart from the price?

Sure it isnt just an idiot trying to get rid quick due to hard times?

 

[Hutchie]

bargin!!

 

[Alastair.]

thats a good price, why u fink its a scam

 

[172Ben]

thats a good price, why u fink its a scam

Because of that exact reason i imagine?

 

[cat171]

Lol @ why is it a scam, it's the same as the other scammed cars on there, low price only an email address, poorly written ad.

"car has no dents or rust"

Wtf ??? the car is mainly plastic, the idiot seller obviously doesn't know that though.

The cars been on ph at that price about 6 times now, it's always up for sale.

Only once has it ever been up for sale legitimately as the price was over 10k, even when it was for sale by it's owner the scam ad was on there too !


I'll await my emailed reply of the car being abroad etc.

 

[Leeshez]

Get it snapped up.

 

[Ads_172]

The description I imagine is exactly the same as a genuine advertiser's previous advert. The scammer normally copies an old advert, changes the price and just leave an email address with no contact number.

It's quite ironic that the scam would actually work better if they asked for more money! If they made it slightly cheaper than market value, then they'd probably get interest.

f**king scamming t***s

*UPDATE TO MY EMAIL TO HIM OFFERING £4000 FOR IT*


Hi mate,

Thank you for your interest in purchasing my car.I will accept £4000 because 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 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.


Right, shall I now string him along & ask about delivery & viewing of it etc ? & transfering the monies ? (His names Mark now btw)

 

[-Leigh-]

^^ Same reply as a guy on here that enquired about a black 182 today scam on pistonheads.

 

[ForceIndia]

Drag him on. Get account details, email adress etc then post on here so we can all contact him. Or tell him your based in papa new guinea, and getv postage costs to there.

I think you should let him know that you are aware of scams and want a picture of him holding a can of baked beans so you know you can trust him. But make it clear you do trust him because he sounds a genuine honest man.

 

[ForceIndia]

Explain your difficult situation getting your thai bride into the country, and for this reason you can only afford £3000.24. Tell him he sounds like a genuine, sympathetic man. You will forward £10,000 into his account using Western Union money transfer, and you will trust him to refund the balance to you. Your cousin in Nigeria will be handling the transfer of funds. His name is George.

 

[cat171]

I've asked him where he is London, so I know how far to go & when can I come & view it.

[@Spoonie]

Some bloke from Italy was selling Xbox 360 Elites for £250 with 15 games.

Same deal, they tell you the goods are with a holding company and you pay the holding company for release. The holding company is actually the seller.

They must think people are thick as pig s**t to fall for something like that.

 

[cat171]

I want to string it along a bit, but i'm not sure how I can really.

 

[cat171]

I reported & said why. They've now pulled it......

Bet it's back up on there tomorrow.

[cat171]

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.
