I've had my car for sale for a couple of weeks now. Anyway, i've got this bloke interested who is making out he is a far away buyer from spain. (SOUNDS DODGY I KNOW). He seems to know to much about the costs of shipment etc etc for it not to be genuine. His method of payment would even be bankers draft which would clear in my account before his associate in the uk picks the car up.

What do you lot think? SAFE ENUOGH OR GIVE HIM THE BOOT

 

Avoid at all cost......................................N

 

advertised my mgf on a site and had about 30-40 replies with the same thing
strange how none of them wrote in proper english
i replied to them all telling them to go forth and multiply

 

daves hit the nail on head there m8, any way most cars are cheaper overseas . richie

 

thanks guys, thought it sounded dodgy. I'D LIKE TO GIVE THE TO#;ERS A GOOD KICKING !!! ( woops, can i say that )

 

Yes you can but probably not best to if you're going to let his friend come round thinking he's getting the car then kicking his head in..

 

Ive heard about a case where the cheque cleared then reported stolen after the car was shipped - dont know if there was any truth in it tho or just hearsay!

I get sent this a while back: Subject : am interested in this BMW 325i

I told him to go **** himself!!!

 

set it up and ask police to wait for them when they pick up the car

 

DODGY i had this sort of thing when i was sellin my old car. walk away mate

 

Heck - ask yourself, why would a guy in Spain, which is left hand drive, wish to buy a right hand drive car???

 

KEEP AWAY.....WHEN HE CALLS NEXT TIME JUST LET HIM HEAR THE 3 BEEPS....STAY AWAY MAN....IF A CHEQUE OR BANKERS DRAFT FOR INTERNATION BANKS OR CUSTOMERS IT ATLEAST TAKES 2 TO 3 WEEKS TO CLEAR AND EVEN IF IT DOES CLEAR IN THE TERMS IT SAYS YOU HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER 5 DAYS AND THAT IS WHEN THEY BOUNCE OR FIND OUT THAT THEY ARE FRAUD.

 

cheers guys, appreciate the response. Why are there so many dodgy fu#'ers in this world.

 

There aren't - but the dodgy characters that are out there, try to scam as many people as possible. If 99% of people can spot the scam, a crook need only need to try it on with 100 people to get a 'sale'.
