Anyone selling a car get this type of email?

[71440bee]

Just wondering if anyone else selling a car has gotten this type of email about wanting to purchase?

I am a U.K based businesswoman.I am willing to make payment for the
1971 RoadRunner.My payment arrangement are as follows:

1)You receive a check for $17,800

2)Cash it and deduct your amount

3)Have the rest sent to my personal assistant less the transfer charges

4)Once they receive the funds,shipping will be arranged from our end.

If you get my point then let me have your info for the check:

1)Name on check
2)Address
3)Contact Phone #
4)Last price on offer

Thanks,

  this is a scam beware do not even try anything like that you will end up 

[MoparUSAF]

Sounds like a job for INTERPOL

I would steer clear

[ChgrSteve67]

that scam has been around for years.  the first i heard of it was when a nigerian started it (havent they started them all?).  anyways, i would contact the local police department (she has her address there) and have them investigate it for fraud.

Yeah right! Do you also want my social security card number while you at it? How about my blood type and bank account no.? I would love to eff with them. Send them some bogus info. Play their game.

[IBsmokin]

Yah I got a few of them, I just delete them and don't even send a reply.

[MoparYoungGun]

SCAM!

dude.. EVERYONE selling anything gets those all the time.. i cant believe theres still people out here who dont know!!! this has been happening for 5 yrs and i guess it must still be working by the look of some of the responses here.. dan

[4402tuff4u]

I dont think anyone here is falling for it. 71 is just commenting and asking if anyone else has seen this. That's all.

Take a dump in a small box & mail it to that address so she gets "your point".

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Havent gotten one yet.......maybe the car is too rich for them?

[Telvis]

That scam has been circulating for a while. Friggin crooks!!

[Charger_Fan]

I got a couple of those last year when I was trying to sell a car in a local online freebie site...one that would be mainly viewed by people in northern Utah.
They were asking for info that didn't really pertain to what I was selling either...pretty messed up.

SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM,

You need to do this.

i like the idea of taking a dump in a box and mailing it to them-sounds like a great return on the investment!

Also, think about how it'll save wear & tear on your plumbing, help the corrugated box industry, promote the services of the shipping industry, reduce the output of the local sewage treatment plant, reduce water usage & chemicals necesaary to treat sewage, & at the same time, it'll help the environment & keep the tree huggers off our backs for drving gas pigs.

tell him to f off, I hate all these scammers, even though almost everyone knows about it, theyre still fishing for that one guy they can screw over and get some money from him.

[THE COLONEL]

 

STAY AWAY!

That only means trouble.

[71440bee]

I figured it was a scam and wasn't going to even reply. Just curious if others had gotten them also which it seems many have. The dump in a box is what they deserve. Thats funny!  

[KMPX2]

That is one of the oldest scams on the net
