a warning to others 16th October 2010 6:25 PM
As a warning to others not that we were caught read my last thread on the ford fiesta for sale in the for sale section on here, it tells the last email about a scam that is running for all types of goods. we stopped the sell after discussing it with the police. so don't get caught.
Just as a follow up and as a warning to others, the sale of the car was a scam and we have stopped the sale, i have put a copy of the last email on here including the prices, after discussing it with the police we decided that it was a scam.
Look at the grammar and the way the email is written, but the giveaway more than that is the money back, they send a stolen cheque collect the money and goods from the customer and are well gone before the cheque bounces even if the cheque has been cleared by the bank.
Copy of last email
"Hello,
How are you? I hope all is fine with you? I just want to inform you
that My company called me that they have sent out the draft for the
car to you.
I must also inform you that there is a little mix up which really
grief me as it cannot be reverted. I have been making arrangement with
a shipping company before now, as regard the paper works and all
transfer of ownership and agreement between us "the seller and the
buyer". They will also take care of the insurance, taxes, MOT, and
change of registration plate number from yours to mine as the new
buyer. then will finally ship the car to our home in Edinburgh. All
this they say, will cost me
