There's a saying my Nan always uses "A fool and their money are easily parted"

Now im not saying you are a fool but if you send them money I dont think you will see it or the car again.

If its not listed i doubt they would care....hell i doubt they would care even if it was,they know full well of the scams but do naff all about them.

Not sure if Auto trader might be more interested....not sure if they have guidelines you need to adhere too.

Contact Autotrader, I know it was a long time ago but I had to speak to them about scam merchants asking for more money to advertise a car I had for sale, suggesting they were from a subsidory of Auto trader, Auto trader were interested enough to look into it, and I got my money back. :)

It is comical to read this.  ;D

It is so completely and obviously a (not very good) scam I am wondering how anyone could be fooled??

Caolan_P. You are wanting to cling onto the hope that you really could get a bargain car.

I sincerely hope that you do not discover this the hard way. There is no car, only some not very smart fraudsters looking for naive punters.

This is another version of the famous Nigerian 419 scam.
That is the one where they play on peoples greed. You are being suckered into believing you can get a car for a fraction of its true value.

Don't become another statistic. You will not only lose a large amount of money, you will also have your credit identity stolen and despite what certain credit card companies will tell you, it is a very long and frustrating process to clean your file after that.  >:(

One final question for you?
If the car is that good, why are they selling it over here rather than in their own country or to a dealer??  ;)

I missed this thread due to commitments which prevented me getting on here. It's a scam!

I had a similar one about 6 years ago for a bike on fleabay... It all went very quiet when I said I'd fly out and ride it back!
