Default Selling My Car - Just received this email! lol

Hi Rich,
I will like to say a big thank you for your reply, am satisfied with the condition of the car think it would be a great buy.Its perfectly okay with me. I travel alot in my line of buisness hence the reason why i wont be able to come view the car at your end,and also am buying this car for my son now that he is of age. I am ok with the car's picture and it will be good to let you know that i will be paying you with a bank draft or company's cheque that was intended for me through services rendered (£9,000).The only problem is that sum owed me by the investment company is more than the price of your car. I would greatly appreciate if you could deduct sum of your car(£4,350 )from the amount and have the rest of (£3,650) sent to my shipping agent (through Money Gram International Money Transfer this is reliable). so that they will come for the pickup of the car in your location. I will wait till draft or cheque clears before i instruct my shipping agent to take up ownership of car on my behalf. I really am very sorry that it has to be this way but i do not want to miss out on this great buy. Please send me the following information below so i could have the company make out the draft in your name and send it to you immediately.Thanks.
full name...............
full address.................
mobile phone number..................
office phone number.....
Waiting to read from you soonest
Joe

Why do they bother

I got one this week....

Hello James,

Thank you very much for the response to my mail..i am ok with the price of the car and would love to make an immediate purchase.although i intend to pay you with a certifie banker's draft that was intended for me by a client of mine who owes me money for services rendered in the us but the problem is sum owed is more than the
amount of the car so i would want you to do me a favour,i want you to deduct the amount of the car from the total sum which you will recieve and send the excess payment to my shipper who would be on standby to come for the car and sign the necessary documents on my behalf because i will be going on a business trip to hong kong and should be expected back next month.i will await till funds clear
in your account before i inform my shipper to come pick the car up and have it shipped directly to my house .

i would need your accent in this matter because i dont want to miss this great buy
please if this ok by you i would need you to provide me with the following
information so as to make this transaction as quick as possible.
FULL NAME
CONTACT ADDRESS
PHONE NUMBER
thank you very much for your co-operation ..

regards..

Donald...

p:s amount owed by my client is 7 500 (GBP)..
I promply sent an e-mail back saying..."Ha ha no chance, try e-bay!!"

i sent this email back to him:

Hi,

the price has gone up to £6000 due to other cars fetching that sort of money. If you are interested, send me a bankers draft for £10,000. I will then send the remaining £4000 back to you in an envelope inside the glove box.

Let me know if this is ok for you

Look forward to hearing from you soonest

Thankyou please

Rich

Lets see if he responds

PMSL at this reply on scoobynet

BuRR17 June 2004, 23:06
and my reply

Thank you for your reply. Having not heard from you, I was beginning to think you had lost interest.

I don't have any family. They were killed recently in a tragic accident involving a large trampoline, but thank you for your kind thoughts.

Unfortunately, the car cannot be taken off-sale as I do not have control over the magazine advertisements, but if anyone does contact me I'll tell them that my good friend Rod Ben has bought it and is going to rice it.

Just in addition to my last description. Please note that the wheels have been balanced using a splicing-brace combined with grease-de-elbow which produces satisfying results.

Please hurry with the cheque, as I cannot hold the car for long, and I intend to spend the proceeds on a wild lifestyle.

cant believe they are still trying this.i had one about 3 years ago,before it was really known about.the guy sent me a tsb bankers draft from a london branch(he was in africa-as he worked on the paris dakar rally!!!).anyway i went along with it as i was unsure-took the draft to my tsb branch and handed it in.they processed it and said it would clear in 4 dyas or so-i asked them to double check as i was dubious-turned out the branch that issued the draft had been closed for 2 years.
tsb fraud squad took over the case.

but i got mithered for the next 2/3 days from an african man who could barely speak english asking for the money to be sent straight away to his shipping agent-tsb had told me not to get involved so he got a big
FUCK OFF....

usual case-if it seems too good to be true-it usually is
