Check the following two links. Would appreciate this being left here as it could affect anyone. It's the latest scam. It's not to get your car but to get the money leaving you out of pocket.

Any e-mail you get from somebody you don't know is a scam - don't even bother to read! If they weren't going to benefit from mailing you they wouldn't have bothered, whether it be a serial con-man with an elaborate made-up story or just the latest special offer from whatever store you last bought stuff from. Please wise up.

I was wise but thanks for your comments. Right from the go I knew. Unlike most though I decided to do my bit and progressed it to the point where the police are now questioning someone. But thanks for sitting on the fence anyway.

I was tired of people saying why don't people do something.

Well I have so up yours.

If my memory serves me correctly,

its a variation on the nigerian money scam...

you know millions in a bank acc but cant get it out...

need a secure bank acc to help them 10% to you blady blah...

its a well known fraud.... there was a major bust this year,,

its somthing like the 175 scam...

msn did a similar thing and the transcripts were bloody hilarious.. at one point the scammer admitted it was a scam..

but insisted they carried on to prevent other scammers taking the (non existent) money...

the bit that craked me up was i was apparantly listed on a

list of trustworthy people...from msn.... hahahahaha

hope they get what they deserve.. (the scammers that is)
