>I will handle the shipment of the item myself.
>Waiting to read from you soonest.
>Have a wonderfull day ahead of you.
>Regards.

Creepy guy

 

i told him i knew it was a scam and unless he sends cash leave me alone never heard from him again

 

you should've been like sure

then kept the money

 

it would have been more then likely a fake check

 

good job sniffing it out

 

Wow, thats crazy i got the same exact message. I knew it was a scam too. Good lookin out man These people really are low lifes and they deserve whats coming to them

 

I got the same massage., the guy from africa.
just ignored it

 

Recieved this email last week.

Hi Enrico,
Thanks for getting back to me. I think I have seen all I want to know about the car. I like the car and I am going to make payment for it asap. I am going to tell my client in the state to issue you a check of $6000 asap so that the transaction can be rounded up on time. I know this is more than the stated amount but i will need you to send the balance to my international shipper through western union money transfer. I would have asked my client to do this but he said he prefers to issue his check to somebody in the use. And I can not do this myself because I am based in Europe. I am sorry for whatever inconviences this is going to cause you. pls get back to me with your name, address and phone number asap if this is ok with you. So that payment can be facilited asap . thank you in anticipation.
Regards
Jose

 

OMG that is so crazy, I cant believe people would do this, I know for now on after reading this to take cash if I decide to sell my car

 

I hope I get some emails like this. Honest.

Instead of sending the $$, I am gonna send a pic of my nuts.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your quick response. I am interested and
would be willing to buy it at that price I am located
in England and have an International shipping agent
that will come pick the 2000 Honda Civic EX coupe White up from your house and
ship to me.
I will arrange for payment by sending your full name
and address to my client in the States who is owing me
the amount of $16,500 to issue you a official check for
this amount. which is a refund for a cancelled order I
placed with him, and being a refund the amount can only
be written on a single check. I know it is more than
the 2000 Honda Civic EX coupe White price but after getting the official check,
I need you to cash it and deduct cost of the 2000 Honda Civic EX coupe White,
then do me a favour of wiring the remaining balance
to my International shipper via western union. You will
also deduct $200 for running around and for wiring back
the difference. After this is done, he will then pick
the 2000 Honda Civic EX coupe White up from your residence and ship to me.
So, confirm this and send your full name and address
including phone # for mailing the check payment to you
as soon as possible.

Waiting for your urgent reply,
Kind regards,
Scott.
