chorleymel

oh my god I've been scammed. received the exact same thing after advertising on autotrader.


Am happy the vehicle is still available.However,Please i want to be convince this car is actually own by you and I hope all the papers document is fully complete and there is no outstanding payment ?Am sorry to ask this but i just want to be security conscious.
Am happy with price £8000 GBP and as for payment status am okay with a British Certified United Kingdom Bankers draft issue here in local bank in Great Britain ,which can be cashed liquid in any local Bank in United Kingdom and it would only take less than "two" working days for processing for your bank to get the cash ready to you my bank advised .Mind you i have no benefit of doubt that the payment MUST FULLY CONFIRM CLEARED before i can take full ownership of vehicle.However,As for the pick up arrangements have already make an arrangements with a private carrier company who is going to handle it professionally for me and also sign the papers document on my behalf after i must have make the full payment .Please let me have more pictures both in and out of the car because i would not be available to inspect the car at present due to my work schedule here in Carmethenshire Wales .
Honestly speaking am buying the car on behalf of my wife whom we just got married two weeks ago, she is from Edinburgh in Scotland,she is currently in Hamburg in Germany my native country.My wife she's in need of a car now in British design "RIGHT HAND DRIVE" due to work distance and also will be easier for her to drive in Germany.
Thanks and hopefully to hear from you today were by i can proceed with payment as soon as possible.

Am happy to proceed with the transaction further.However,Have already made arrangements with a private carrier company who is going to pick the car for me and i would be fully responsible for the carrier expenses not your bills.
I would be posting the draft to you which will be safely deliver via local register mail .Same day the post men deliver the payment you proceed to your bank and make a deposit .You will be inform at your bank when payment will be available to be paid in liquid cash in your hand which will takes less than 2 days working hour for the processing.
Once your bank is fully satisfy the payment has cleared and your account is fully credited then you firstly take out your money £8000 before releasing the car .
Now a British Bankers draft will be issue out to you here from a local bank in total sum of a £12,500 GBP will be posted to you which have include the carrier payment .After withdrawing your money the funds left shall be transfer to the carrier company for easy transportation of the car and as for the DVLA documents it will be fill and sign by the shipper when it's time for pick up.

Well my car sold on ebay for £1720, barely more than the £1500 p/x offer, but that was with only 6 days MOT remaining, I subsequently spent £66 on getting the MOT in order, £32 on autotrader ad, £28 on ebay.

But the winning bidder has got back to me:

[FONT=&quot]"Hello, I'm very sorry to inform you that I cannot proceed with this purchase. I did not appreciate the damage on the car shown on one of your photographs of the drivers side. I had been using my iPhone app to place the bid and on closer inspection of the photos which are clearer on the autotrader website the damage is worse and not just the scuff that I had initially realised, I feel such an idiot!."

Winning bid is actually cheap even with the damage....
