Red 240hp tt scam.
Discussion
Hello Gaz
I just got your message regarding my 2005 Audi TT Quattro Sport 240 Limited
Edition. Please note that the location is not shown correctly on
Pistonheads, that's my old address. I recently moved back to Denmark and
the car is in Copenhagen ready for test drive or delivery. It's a right
hand drive car and can't be driven in the Denmark so I'm selling it. The
car runs just perfect, looks great in and out as shown in the pictures, no
smoking owner, no mechanical flaws, accident free & HPI clear.
Has full service history,8 months of MOT and 7 months of TAX and odometer
reads 69,000 miles. Reg. number is LE05AXA and number plates are included.
Considering the offers I received I'm asking £4,100 and this includes
delivery to your location. It's ready to be delivered with all registration
documents, service records, original invoice, both car keys and the bill of
sale.
Regards,
Christian Erickson

I contacted this bloke via that ad.
Have I been mugged off. Is this a well known scam?
He won't talk on the phone. I know too good to be true usually means exactly that, but I was intrigued.
I went as far as reading an amazon handling form, he emailed, describing the purchase method that he was suggesting.
He failed to convince me it's for real or that he is the owner, so I suspect it must be stolen or a ringer?
What else could it be? Have I made myself vulnerable by engaging in email conversation?
If you can let me know what's the catch is please. I suppose it could be - take the money and provide no car?
Thanks in advance of your advice.
Feeling stupid!

You will be fine... as long as you haven't sent any money to them the worse thing that will happen is you may receive more spam messages in your inbox.Have I been mugged off. Is this a well known scam?

We have an updated scam list on our Wiki page - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
This one sounds like they would have gone for the "Fake Escrow Scam"
