I've got my car for sale at the moment in Autotrader and just received this e-mail which I'm sure is a scam. Your views please.(scammers name and address removed)
Hello,
I'm interested in your advert you posted for sale.
Do you still have it and what is the recent condition of the car.
Greetings.
Hello,
Thanks for the reply .I would have come to your address to view it but my work does not permit me because am busy right now. You will receive a bankers draft as payment for the car and i have a transporter that will come for the shipment after the payment has cleared. Shipping fee will add to the total amount on the bankers draft that will sent to you . The transporter will sign all the documents and paper on my behalf after the payment has cleared in your bank account, So don't worry yourself.
I assured you about the payment is 100% good and the money will be cleared into your account within 5-7 days after you have made the deposit.
Below is my address:
I want you to provide me with your details for the bankers draft in order to sent the payment out.
Name:
Address:
City:
State:
Country:
Mobile Number:
Office Phone: (if available)

Autotrader is full of scammers. It's best not to put an e-mail address (as I learned). I had loads of these when I advertised my car. Nobody kosher is going to buy a car without seeing it.Je suis sabot...0
