Give him a break, he could be genuinely interested... b'sides, your car will look great with Argos seat covers, extended pedals, gold inlayed tissue box on parcel shelf and worry beads on the rear view mirror. Not to mention the pumping sounds you normally expect during Friday night Tikka Masala time.

Sorry, I may have just consigned this thread to the sin bin!

This is the classic Nigerian car scam. If you want to know more, or even have some fun at their expense take a look here: http://www.419eater.com/index.htm

"DEISEL OR PETROL" - must be genuine (as in genuine Nigerian con).

[anonymous-user]

String him along. Tell him a cheque will be fine. He'll come back to you and say he's owed 5 grand more than you're asking by someone in the Uk. You will then receive a dodgy gregory for the 5 k more than you are asking and he will ask you to send the balance to him via wire transfer. You can have hours of fun.

Better still tell him your car is sold but you know where there is a similar one. Tell him to email Mr sear at [e-mail] for details. I'll take it from there.

[Marki]

He was after -JUT- ``s Chim as well , maybe you should drop your price a little

So i want you to know if I can trust you on sending the remaining balance to my Shipper through Money Gram Transfer, because my client in the UK will be sending a certified Bank Draft for £15,000 to you. Hope you understand this
clearly.

OK reply to him that the deal sounds good but you have some bad news. Due to a local Tornado in Hobnobshire the car was damaged. Everything is OK with it except the leather is torn. You have therefore had to replace the seats with deckchairs.

See if he replies saying no problem he would still like to proceed - if so make up some even more bizarre damage and see how long you can string him along for

[FUBAR]

I like the way you're thinking

[Eo66]

Right the F*****S having it both barrels, how about...........................

My dearest fiend, sorry for the delay in replying to your last email, as i was outsided polishing the car for you when from nowhere the entire contents of a Boing 747's chemical toilet landed in the car, thus it has ruined all the leather and the carpets, (as we live directly under a major flight path this does tend to happen quite often, 3 -5 times this year) however all is now ok as i have managed fit some black and green stripy deckchairs and i must say they look fantastic, hope this ok, regards.
