No, i'm sure its 100% genuine.

People often sell things off at unfeasibly low prices.

I've bought a 2 year old 911 porsche from a guy who unexpectedly emigrated and didnt think to sell the car before he left and therefore is selling it to me at a fraction of what its worth for some reason.

I'm just waiting for it to be shipped from Spain. I got an email from Ebay to say they're going to hold my money for me until it arrives - mind you the guy from ebay could hardly even type english!!

I must email the guy again though as the car was due last week and it hasnt yet turned up

If you don't like the 911 when it arrives, I'll give you a grand on top of what you paid. Only through paypal for your security though. Deal?

I actually thought the 'scam' was that widely known now people with even a miniscule amount of intelligence ignored it.

Stay clear of this! Funny enough I enquired about a Ford Fiesta on here a few weeks ago. I knew something was shifty as it had the same pictures up twice at different prices with different addresses and people. I messaged one and low and behold she lives in Italy. Women was called Irene and here is the message I received:

Hi,
The car is still available for sale,it is in perfect condition in and out,100% HPI clear with a certificate to confirm,full service history.I just got married and moved with my Italian husband in Milan,Italy.I took the car with me so the car is currently here.I can`t use it in Italy because it has the wheel on the wright side and it would also cost me too much to register it here.It is still registered in the UK and since I have absolutely no use for it I am looking for a fast sale( this is why the low asking price)I can ship the car from here directly to your home address and I am also willing to cover all delivery expenses.
I have more pics available in you want to see.
I look forward to your reply.
Regards


Sounds like a regular!!
