I put my Polo up for sale via Loot.com yesterday, and normally it takes 2 days for the ad to go live. I got into work today to find this email.
"Dear friend, Its my pleasure to introduce myself to you,i fortunately came across your advert on the web,am really interested in purchasing this car from you as soon as i hear from you,pls kindly send the price,milleage and pics on your response. Am a building contractor by occupation,i would like to inform you that my financier just travelled to u.k on inspection of some projects,concerning payment,i would instruct him to send down a certified cheque or bank draft meant for this car to your address inother to speed up this transaction before he completes his schedules in u.k. morealso i have a shipping agent to pick it up from its point of destination to my country. i look forward to hear from you."
Now judging by the poor English, lack of proper punctuation, fact that a pic, milage and price are on the ad and the comments about having a collegue in the UK etc, i'm thinking this is a bit of a scammers mail and should be ignored. I know it goes on but thought loot might be a bit safer than other sites (I don't quite know why I thought that).
whats your thoughts?

Without a doubt...it's a scam. There must be good money in it though, they keep on trying.

Scam, but I was reply :- I'll be happy to sell to you, but, as I'm sure your aware, there are many internet scams concerning cars bought with bankers drafts etc so would you send your financier with cash. I'm sure an experienced businessman like yourself will understand and easily be able to arrange this. ..... funnily enough none of them have ever replied !  |

;D ;D ;D I actually have a very good way of dealing with scammers. I tell them that as a man of god my church forbids me from dealing with non followers and if they wish to engage in buisness with me they have to join the church of fisting first. I've even got an aplication form for them to fill in and an initiation ceremony for them to go through. You'll be surprised how many fall for it, untill I tell them to send me the £100 membership fee ;D ;D ;D. Check out www.419eater.com for more ways to deal with these scumbags. |

If it is a scam string him along! Check out this site for ideas www.whatsthebloodypoint.com/I saw that some people are now getting scammers to send pictures of themselves, for 'authentication', holding signs with english advertising slogans. I particularly liked the scammer holding a sign proclaiming 'I can't believe its not butter' |
