Well ihad my car on autotrader for the last few weeks, and i got some emails from people offering. Well theys two different guys have been emailing me and i think after today, it was nothing more than a fraud. I finally sent a email back to them both telling them to call me, before we proceed with the sale.
What do you guys think!
First guy second email from him...
Greetings,
I have forwarded your vehicle information to my client and after evaluation and due to time constraint on the fact that we are runningshort of time. He has left for his trip to Hongkong.
I'm delighted to tell you that my client has recommended your vehicle, with full interest and he has instructed me to carry on with his transaction, Hope the eugine and body is in perfect condition?
He also instructed me to inform you that payment will get to you in a cashier check of $16.000, which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by my client. Due to company policy this check has to be made out in this amount to you, Because company policy only allows a refund payment on one cashier cheque.
So you are required to deduct the cost of your vehicle ( car) $8.800 when payment gets to you and refund balance $7.200 to the Agent ( our shipper ) for him to be able to offset shipping & tax charges, and other cosmetic repair costs.
After payment has reached you and balance sent to shipper, the shipper's agent will come for inspection, pick up (of vehicle & signing of title papers), make some cosmetic touches and drive to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer.
Please confirm this and forward the following informations;
Names:
Address:
Phone number:
For payment to be made and send to you as soon as possible.
Your honesty, understanding and co-operation will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,

Hello mike,
Thanks for the detailed information provided on the purchase of your vehicle .Hope the vehicle is oil changed, serviced and ready to go,Please be advised of the urgency of the transaction ,i have just discussed with the customer not long ago regarding payment and pickup arrangements,He explained that there is no much time left considering the purpose of the vehicle and that the debtor company already took more than enough time to release his (check payment).
He has instructed me to inform you that payment will get to you in a cashier check of $15800 payment made out to cover the expense of the shipper who will be shipping the vehicle since he would be travelling out of town for business, So you are required to deduct the cost of your vehicle $8800 when payment is received and send balance of $7000. to the shipper for him to be able to offset shipping & tax charges, and other cosmetic repair costs.
Upon receiving your payment and balance sent down to the shipper immediately the shipper's agent will come for inspection and pick up (of vehicle & signing of title papers), some cosmetic touches and drive to the prepaid shipper .Confirm this and forward your LEGAL NAMES, ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER for payment to be made out. Please get back to me within fews hours of receiving my mail to confirm this.I await your favorable response with the required information for payment delivery asap.
Thanks in anticipation of your understanding.
Kind Regards,
