Hello,
Well, the asking price is okay by me for £800 ,i will instuct my associate to issue a certified bank draft worth £3700 for the payment and the shipping schedule .When you do receive the payment ,you can deduct the money of your (bike) and send the remaining balance of £2900 to my local shippers inorder for them to come to your location for the pickup .If you are okay with this arrangement i will like you to get back to me with the following details :
Name :...........
Contact Address :..........

When you send me the following information,i will instruct my associate to issue the payment immediately.Also,as soon as you do receive the draft kindly get back to me immediately inorder for further information on how to reach the shipper.Hope to hear from you soonest .

Purchaser not seller is responsible for collection, shipping arrangements and all payments, thats fact, so to sum up, one payment ( purchase of car ) then payment for collection and shipping agent, thats it.

This crops up on scoobyney quite a lot.

Do a search on there for more info has been going round for god knows how long though.

One bloke on there went along with it on a wind up through e-mai i havent laughed so much as he took the piss out of this nigerian bloke asking him if he could call him rodders, that he had a dog called scam and the money for the car he was setting up some kind of church

He still kept getting mail back thinking that they could shiip the car
