these things seem to be getting more and more common, had my car on carsales earlier this year, i got a text message on my phone at 3am in the morning, had my phone on loud as well so i was pretty cranky when it woke me up with a scammer from london.
everytime i sell something on ebay i get a few scammers trying to buy it each time. |

Sorry for stealing your thread champ.
ok guys and girls, I've just recieved the same sort of scam as a overseas buyer. First they sent me an email if the car was available still. I said I have it but not sure if I want to sell anymore. Then I get one of these.... LoL. Hello, Hope you are doing good? I'm a Businessman from Britain. Regarding to the Car Sales, I'm 100% ready to buy the Car for my Daughter she is relocating and she want all arrangement sealed concerning her living and welfare before her arrival.I would Like to have some pictures of the Car if it's available? and also want to be sure that the Car is Perfectly OK? I want to follow my Daughter decision just to make things right. I will use*PayPal*payment method and i will need you to give me your PayPal email address and the price so i can make the payments for the Car asap and if you don't have PayPal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to*www.paypal.com.au*and get it set up, after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with PayPal so as to put the money through. Once i *have made the payments. My Daughter will ring you upon her arrival to sign the paper works and pick up the Car. To proceed at my end, All i need are your Contact Name, Address, Telephone number, Total Cost and PayPal ID??? Note that i will add extra $4,500.00*AUD*for all miscellaneous. Regards, James. What should I say back?.Lol. It's for his daughter so pictures or GTFO. |

If you see the following in their query just delete it:
"Hello I saw your ad and will like to know if the car is still available for sale." and ... "I have an enquiry regarding priceI would like to test drive this car?Can I please have more information on service history?" and "Good Day, I will like to confirm if this vehicle is still for sale. If yes, kindly get back to me with your offer. Immediate response is greatly appreciated." I'm tempted to reply with something like this: There's a UK businessman who will like to know if he can buy my vehicle for his daughter. I'm just trying to arrange shipping to England so he will like to know what it's like to drive. I will like to keep writing to you so you will like to know if I sold the car or not. Will you like to tell me if this is all right?

(I just hope some genuine but grammatically-challenged buyer doesn't email or text me after all the shit I've had from these scammers.)
