hi.
 
thanks for the interest. To answer your questions
 
Ownership of the car - I actually stole it a few weeks ago. Ive put different plates on it so it all looks fine and you wouldnt even notice
 
Milage of the car - It did have 170K but ive had it clocked so now it reads just 57K, quite low for a car this age
 
Working condition - being honest, i wouldnt drive it myself. When we welded the two halfs together we didnt do a very good job and it may split in two if you drive too fast.
 
asking price - Normally they sell for £1200 but im going to ask £3000 as ive spent a bit of time on it with the welder and getting the clocks fiddled to make it look ok

Location of the car. Its in my lock up. I can bring it to a car park or some other place where it wont get a lot of attention. I dont want to attract the police.
 
Pic of the car - havent got one. I used a pic i found on the net for the advert. It looks just like the pic in the advert only not as good condition and it does sag in the middle a little as we didnt weld it too good.
 
 
Hope that helps. Would be great if i could shift this peice of junk to a scammer like yourself. [/color]

to which he replied.....

Hello,
Thanks for the details of the car given and its been nice to read from you. I will like you to know that your car is the type of car i have been searching to buy for my client and i will be so happy to buy the car from you. I have just forwarded the car details to my client and he is highly interested to buy the car from you and he is ready to pay the amount you requested for. I will like you to know that the only payment method my client can afford on this transaction is only by international certified bank draft or check which will be very easy for you to cash between 4 to 5 working days in your bank, i would have also love to transfer the money to your bank account but i don't know who you really are, and people on internet are so funny cause i have already been a victim of internet fraud once. So i will like you to know that paying by check or banker's draft is more safer for us on this transaction. I will advise you on how to proceed with the shipping of the car after you have received and cashed the check or the bankers draft in your bank. So please, i will like you to kindly get back to me with the following information for the payment below:-
 
NAME ON THE CHECK??
 
FULL CONTACT ADDRESS TO INCLUDE ZIP CODE:
 
COUNTRY????
 
TEL NUMBER??
 
kindly get back to me with this details ASAP, so i can quickly get it forward to my client and he can quickly issue and send you the payment. I will also like you to get the car advert off the internet website and consider it been sold to me because am ready to buy from you...
 
Have a wonderful day
Cheers.

This is why it INFURIATES me that people actually get scammed.

I'm far from the nicest smelling turd in the chemical toilet, but Jesus H Christ, how could anyone fall for it?

Anyways, I really couldn't care less because I just scooped £7,400,750 on the Nigerian Lottery.  Next time I log on, I'll be in the Bahama's, sipping on Gin & Juice.
