SCAMMERS usually aren't as thorough in their information, I see nothing wrong with his ad other than price.

If the ad is legit then somebody has *ALREADY* gotten a 'smokin HOT deal.

kdmranch · 01-10-2008

I will right the check if someone can verify that it exist. I am waiting for him to send me the VIN.

I found it listed on Dec 30. I emailed for info, I did not hear back so I didn't think he was going to respond. I just found his reponse in my junk mail. Something smells fishy, seems to me it should have sold many times over by now.

The last line says " payment and shipping details ", this is definitely a scam!!!
There need not be any payment or shipping of the vehicle it should be cash and carry. Seller will tell you how he is in U.K. and his brother or friend will handle putting the car in some "secured transport companies care". You are required to send the money to some escrow company (usually half) where it will be kept until the car arrives and you will have three days to inspect and then send the balance of the money. REPEAT THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!

Got the same e-mail from "John Purcell", reminds me of all of the 2nd chance offers I used to get from Ebay.......too canned not to be a scam. Anyone know someone at the Postal Inspectors office? Setting up these types of clowns can be fun, I've done it a few times with my job in Insurance. LGAFF
