These are so old now, I am surprised that these scam merchants even bother, only an idiot would waste time reading them.:)
Do you drive, ride or cycle?
If so, how many idiots do you encounter on a daily basis?
Oh and I thought it was 6 months for stolen bankers drafts.
OP: If you want to have a bit of fun then set up a new email address with gmail or something, edit their email to refer to a completely different car in a different location and then respond. Wasting these guys time provides a valuable service.0 -
I've often been tempted with these scams to go along with it, bank the cheque then just leave it at that - i.e. no further correspondence with them, don't ship the car to them. They're hardly likely to come over from Nigeria looking for you, and if you can provide a false address in the first place then you're high and dry.0

A variation on this scam that I read about is that the first payments do go through as promised and then having gained some trust, they seek to bundle a second transaction into the deal at the last minute leaving some financial gain in it for you.
It's on the second transaction that they clean up...I like living in Spain...0 -
We could well be here a long time.
These scam merchants seem to target the no hope sellers.:)
No hope sellers??
Do you have a problem with me or something??
Only posted to see if I could get some help selling my car on another thread and you seem to have a problem with it??
Also just looked through your posts, is there any particular reason a lot of your posts are negative and trying to make people look stupid??
If you have a problem why dont you send me a PM .0 -
