Another For Car Scam.

As I am a autodealer and have people in places to check the rego vin / engine number this car is a scam.

the engine number given by the seller does not match the engine ford issued it with.

Emails from The Seller

Hello there,

First of all I want to thank you for the interest that you have shown for my car. The 2006 FORD FALCON XR8 BF MkII is in excellent condition and was not involved in any car accidents. The car is registered in Australia, has a CLEAR and CLEAN TITLE and you will not have any problems to register the car in your name. If you are interested in buying it, the price is $12,600 AUD. I know that this is a low price for such a good car, but I need to buy a house and I decided to sell my car. I hope that you will agree with my price and there will not be any argues regarding my price. I would like to complete this transaction asap, cause I need money asap and I don't have so much time at my disposal. If you have any other questions, please reply me.

Regards,

George Neville

** I asked the Seller for all the details of the Car **

Email 2

Thank you for your reply. At this moment I'm in Lodon, United Kingdom, where I am looking to buy a house because I will leave Australia to UK definitely. I am selling my car because I don't need it anymore here in UK (due the high shipping fees and very high import duties and all the restrictions regarding registration and emissions tests). The car is in the garage of my house that I have lived in until I have moved here in London. I have already sold my house and I need to come back in Australia to give the house and the papers of the house to the buyer of my house, and then I need to sell my car too. But I have told to the buyer of the house that I will not come back in Australia, until I have a serious buyer for my car. I had some discussions with BidPay and they told me that they can help me and you to finalize this transaction fast and safe.

Here are the car details:

VIN : 6FPAAAJGSW6R47732

Rego Number : XLE093 (SA)

Engine Number : JGSW6R47732

If you are interested to have more details from BidPay about how we can finalize this transaction, please send me full name and address so BidPay can run a backround report about your identity. I'm a serious seller and a fair trader and I prefer to deal only with a serious buyer. Please reply me and give me the details that I have demanded you.

Regards,

George

Hope to hear from you soon

** Incorrect Vin Number & Engine Number I also asked to view the car in person**

3rd Email

The thing is that there is no one who can show you the car in North Perth, WA since I have no more relatives there and the car is locked in my garage. I will come back to Australia as soon as we started the transaction at BidPay. If you are really interested to buy my car, then please send me your full name and shipping address so I can forward to BidPay and so they can give you more details about how to complete this transaction. Waiting for your full name and shipping address.

Regards,

George Neville

Hope to hear from you soon

** I asked the seller he was comming back to WA to finish of the sale of his house but yet he insisted that he would not come back to finish that until his car was sold **

load of crap

Just thought this would be a good place to post up a bit of a warning. Some Nigerian scum is having a good crack at trying to scam me out of a laptop I have been selling on ebay. Funny stuff. I am having a great time leading him on though I have attached a PDF of the email correspondance for your viewing pleasure. Just lucky for us they are so stupid huh?

Anyway, bullsh*t aside, they basically hack someones ebay account and buy out items. Then send you a bunch of crap and tell you they have transferred the money, and that you are supposed to send them the item then use the tracking number to claim your money from a 3rd party 'holding' bank thing. Its crazy stuff! So Mr Nigerian willingly 'transferred' $3,300 to mr Steve McQueen... which is interesting considering that the bank account doesnt exist...

So yeah, PDF is attached. Just a bit of a heads up for any ebayers out there to see the lengths these idiots will go to. I am currently toying with the idea of sending him a large box of rubbish just to get him excited.

Also note I am making a good go of acting dumb, so this tool actually believes he is going to get his laptop . Dont think less of me

[turbotrana]

A small box will still be expensive to send, maybe a certified letter telling him how dumb he is.
