Default Oh the joys of email scammers when selling a car :cry:

I'm trying to sell my daily funbus, its advertised in loads of places, and i've had a couple of emails off people already.

here they are with my replies

Hi,
I am David Tom, I am located in Buckie (North East Scotland), so the shipping won't be any problem. However i did saw your advert on www.autotrader.co.uk and I am highly interested in purchasing your Bmw to a good home, I will like to know your asking price and the present condition and the pictures, I am a serious buyer and you can reach me on +447024023349.
David Tom.
Thanks.




----------------------------------

Can you confirm that you like to suck cock instead of trying to be a nigerian scammer?

Thats a different scam graceland, those are premium rate numbers.

You phone it up, it will play you a dial tone as if its ringing and charge you 25 quid a minute for the pleasure.

Gracey, you do realise that they almost certainly do NOT bother to read replies anyway, if its even a genuine email address its coming from which it probably isnt.

Here's one i had this weekend

.................................................. .........................

Hello,

Goodday! Hope you and your family are doing great? I'm Bruce Williams interested in your 1992 SUBARU LEGACY 2.0 4 Cam Turbo 4dr Saloon which you placed on advert for sale and will like to know the following about the item:

LEAST PRICE.........................................
COUPLE OF PICS.....................................

I want you to know that i'm okay with the condition of the item as stated in the advert and i am ready to buy this item from you and wouldn't want to loose it. As a very busy businessman, i want you to know that my method of payment will be by sending you a Cashiers Checque down to your location which you are going to bank and allow it to fully clear into you account and thereafter we can proceed on how it's going to be picked. Hope i can lay my trust on you by taking it off advert. I will be glad if you can do just that for me. Also, I want to know if i can fully depend on you selling the car to me and will like us to show honesty, trustworthiness and transparency in order to be able to finalize this transaction and hope to do business again with eachother.
For the procurement of payment, the following details will be needed: FULLNAME, ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER. As soon as i recieve this, necessary arrangement will be made and payment will be send out to you immidiately and hopefully in no time payment will reach you.
Regards and waiting to read from you as soon as possible.

Bruce.

Is there people out there who actually fall for this, ie providing all personal details, address bank account numbers etc? If they do they deserve everything they get fuckwits.
