This joker saw my "For Sale" ad on www.gti-r.com and got me to send pics of stuff then replied;-

"Because my P.a is out of town and due to a depth i need to settle with him, I will inform my bank to mail out a bank draft of 4,500GBP which you are to deduct 500GBP and get the balance transfered to my P.a which will enable him come
over to your residence for all and pickups on my behalf.

To complet payment, I will need the name and address you want the bank draft to be made out to with a valid phone number so payment can be done Asap.. ...

I will be looking forward to your mail. ...."

It's either a scam or an effort at money laundering The advice is to ignore any such emails (thanks to Stephen Akinsaya).

Cheers, Ray

Scam all the way... 30 days later is about the time when the bank finds that the money doesn't clear and takes it back from you...

why not just accept. wait till it clear to the bank, then only ship and do
the refund.. tell them only refund once clear
from there see what their reply you

Because the bank decide in all their goodnes that after they do finally reject it, they want the money back off you and your car has already gone, so you lose twice over.

:doh: I guarantte you this is a scam. I personaly would not give themany ID or bank details at all. They could very well clean out your accont and set up others in your name. Sounds like a typical Nigerian scam 2 me. Id advise telling them or anyone that The car has a tracker fitted, and that you are not selling or releasing the car untill you have cash in `cleared effects'.

Most times you will see them disappear they will likely not respond to any further contact. Only take cash, and go to your bank with the guy and pay it in is the best advice cos u nevver know if its snide, or maybe snide mixed with real.

Snide bieng counterfiet. Commonly high value items are bought with snide ££'s. anyone not wishing to pay the money - real cash into your bank (and dont reveal your acc no to him!, its just acounter cash deposit!) is either bent or otherwise ain't got the money and so if you go along with it it wont be long before you have niether car or money! - Take Care! :)
