Dodgy E-mails

[John R]

I advertised my car on autotrader last week and I've had about 8 e-mail like these:

Hello friend,

I saw your advert on the web and I am interested in your 

1997  TOYOTA MR2 GT T-Bar Sports 2dr Coupe. I want to inform you that I am based in Brazil but my business is based in Africa.I am ready to pay $4,800 to secure the purchase of the car. If my offer is okay,kindly reply back as soon as you get this message.

Thanks.

Payment will be in UK.

and...

Hello,

  i saw your ads on the net and i would like to aquire the toyota car, I want

you to know that I'm really interested in buying this car as i have had a long

search for this match and iam buying it for my son's wedding which would hold

soon so I wouldn't want any delay in transaction as I still have to ship the car

down.Please I will appreciate it if you can get back to me with some more

pictures and a short note stating the present condition of the car for better

viewing and I would like to know your preffered way of receiving payment because

I will be ready to pay through a cheque that I wouldn't mind for it to get

cleared before having  the key to the car or an account transfer. iam ok with

your price of £4,400 and iam more than ready to pay as it is just the match i

want Please getback to me as soon as possible remain blessed till i hear from

you.

  Best Regards.

The world is a very dodgy place... :arrgg-matey:

Any decent offers tho?

[John R]

Yes, unfortunatly

I had a few dodgy mails too (as mine was on the trader too), glad I only got 3.

It scares me to think that some people fall for these messages.
