Hello goodday,


I search this particular car of yours at and am so happy to meet
the advert on the sale.I will like to make an enquiry on your car and the picture look very nice.




Presently am out of state now,i went for a project but i will be
back very soon.



I will also like to have your details for the payment.I will make
arrangements with my shipping agent and make plans for a viewing
date that's of course after payment must have been received, a 10%deposit will be sent to you plus the funds for the shipping to hold the car for me till the shipper comes around for the inspection and
viewing .



When i have word from him that the car is in good condition the
balance for the funds will be given to you in cash or an open
cheque whichever comes first and the pick-up and final exchange of documents can take place, please email me back if this arrangement is okay so i can know what to do .



The excess funds on deposit will go towards covering costs for
shipping, shippers fees, insurance, taxes and any other expenses
that might be incurred getting it down to the new owner.

Yours sincerely,
Philip.

I just hate Auto Trader for failing to stop all these spammers from being able to contact you!

[soad]

Those scammers get everywhere it seems. Pretty lame email too.

[anonymous-user]

If you read it to yourself in the voice of the fonejacker scammer it becomes mildly amusing

[madala]

......you would have to be brain dead to fall for that shoite.....yet I thought it was a nicely composed letter, obviously they have very good schools in Nigeria or whatever third world stinking scumbag hole from where that letter might have originated.

There is probably a foreign version of PH full of people pissed of that they can't import a car for love nor money

[Dracoro]

Rule is, NEVER put e-mail on AT ads.

Anyone remotely serious about your car will call you.

I like for you to call me on my 13 digit phone number yes goodbye.
