well the frieght company will handle that but if you insist doing it yourself,since the car is for my pregnant wife make it in her name Alice Dayo, 17 Main St, Blackrock, Dublin, Ireland0

Dear George
I have good news for you. I can save you the transportation costs for the car. I can take the car to Dublin for you and meet your wife at 17 Main Street, Dublin! That will save you £3,700!
All I ask is that you send me an extra £200 for the car. So please send a cheque for £3,700. I will deliver the car to Dublin and there will be no need to send any money to your freight agent.

Oh, I see, your wife is pregnant so you want to be sure she has a comfortable ride by car from Belgium to Dublin?
But, surely, you will need the V5 vehicle registration document when you travel from Belgium to Dublin? So, why have you asked me to send the V5 document to your wife in Dublin if she is not there, but with you in Belgium? Perhaps I should post the V5 to your Belgium address?
I am also puzzled that you are in Belgium. All the e-mails you have sent seem to come from Nigeria!
My wife (who is Irish) says she knows of someone as the sane name as your wife (Alice Dayo) and that Alice Dayo runs a public house called Donohues. Does your wife run a public house of that name?

Dear George
The address you gave me for your wife: 17 Main Street, Blackrock Dublin is the address of a Public House called Donohues! Yet you say your wife is not the landlady! Perhaps you are the landlord of the Donohues? Your wife must know Donohues if she lives there!
What do you mean that your laptop was formatted in Nigeria? I am talking about your IP address, that has nothing to do what country you are in when you computer was ‘formatted’ Your IP address is the address your computer has on the internet – and is determined where you and your computer are now! Perhaps, you got a little muddled with the country names? Nigeria and Belgium both have seven letters and contain an ‘i’ and ‘e’ and a ‘g’. Other than that, it is difficult how you could confuse two countries that are on different incontinents! (If you understand my ‘loose’ meaning).
Anyway, it will be a pleasure doing business, nevertheless. What have I got to lose?0 -

Ooh you are having fun - worthy of Scamorama!The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.0

Well, someone called Kagan Bolen has offered me £7,200 for the car! He seems to be from Nigeria too!
What should I do? I am very tempted to accept his offer as you are only paying me £3,500. You are sending me a cheque for £7,200 but you want me to send £3,700 of that to your shipping agent! Kagan Bolen is sending me £7,200 – all for me!
So, if you do want the car, I will keep the £7,200 and you can forward your own money direct to you freight agent by Western Union. I realise that may be a recursive transaction but I leave the choice to you.
So, please give me your contact details (name, address and phone number) and the name, UK address and phone number of you freight agent. I need to discuss pickup arrangements with them and to talk to you as well.
