Default Currently winding up a scammer "trying" to buy my TT --UPDATE 7/7/11 also pics now.

Got a scammer trying to buy my TT, its not on auto express?? but on auto trader anyway see below the crap i'm saying to him.
The car is advertised for £5795 which you need to know to make sense of what i say later on.
Hopefully I can keep pushing him

Hello,
I still have it, I crashed it 2 days ago and it was badly written off, but I had it fixed by an expert farrier and he has nailed it back into a good shape. It has been resprayed and now looks fantastic. I also have changed the wheels for uprated 30 inch john deer specials. It is now worth alot more than my original price due to the respray and the wheels, so my price is now £10000 but is worth every penny.

Paypal is fine, it is much safer, but can you help me with the paypal fee's they charge???
Thank you Grant

Thanks for the mail...i just want to know if you have the service history and log book for the car...because i have gone through it on the website and it suit my taste...And i am ready to buying it now for my Son,so i am willing to proceed with the transaction now and pay you £10,100.00 GBP And i insisted on PayPal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my PayPal account kindly log in to your PayPal account and select the request money button located at the top of your PayPal account home page and send the money request directly to my PayPal account ID which is mprasstore@gmail.com so that i can be able to make the payment to you via PayPal right now. because PayPal is safe, fast and easy to send and receive money online.

Meanwhile,i have an auto shipping company,so you don't have to worry about the shipment as my agent will come down to your location for the pick up of the car.....i wait to read from you soon??? My Mobile Number Is....7024066732

Here Is The Shipping Address Below:

City: Torbay
State: London
Zip Code: NW1 8RR
Country: United Kingdom

Thanks and Regards
Micheal.




Hi Micheal
Thats great, wow you have a lucky son, he must be some guy.
I will do that right away, when do you think the car will be picked up? Will the transporter be able take the car with the 30'' john deer specials? Luckly i put on crop tyres so it should fit.
Yes i have all the documents, the log book is actually a funny one the car is an audi tt but the log book states it is a audi tit ( must of been a typo)
I deal with paypal alot on ebay, it is a great system, i'm please you are paying this way rather than all the messers trying to come to my door with cash.

Kind regards, Grant xxx

Hello Micheal
Thats great I have been trying to log into my paypal but it wont work, I really want you to have the car as you sound such a nice genuine guy, i'm fed up of all these people that phone and want to come to the house with cash, your method seems so much better no worry of having to deal with cash, just direct to my bank and I know paypals safe too.

God bless you too!

Its easy you just need easy start, a burning rag on a stick and sideburns!
This was me fitting the tyres yesterday, I painted them yellow and stuck them on the tt last night.

This is my car, I can imagine the guy frome fone jacker actually driving it! Need to get a photoshop of him in it and some tractor wheels!!









EDIT - I have just spent several hours on microsoft paint creating this masterpiece!!! I think I will send it to him when he next replys... give him an idea of what it will look like for him in his own surroundings.

How far could you actually take this? Maybe even arrange pickup hide your car and say another guy picked it up earlier? Totally throw them off?
