BANKERS DRAFT SCAM. DO NOT ACCEPT. offering more money than advertised!
THIS IS A MEGA SCAM. DO NOT ACCEPT ANY BANKERS DRAFTS ETC AS THESE ARE FAKES THAT WILL CLEAR INTO YOUR ACOUNT INITIALLY BUT WILL THEN BE FLAGGED UP AS FAKES IN A MONTH OR SO AND THE MONEY WILL BE REMOVED FROM YOUR ACCOUNT REGARDLESS OF YOUR DISAPPROVAL (YOU WILL BE LIABLE FOR IT EVEN IF YOU HAVE SPENT IT), BY WHICH TIME YOUR CAR WILL BE HALF WAY ACROSS THE GLOBE NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN!!!!
I HOPE NO ONE GETS RIPPED OFF BY THESE JERKS!
These scammers can be spotted by the poor english, a sop story about being pregnant and offering more than u advertised for.
The emails they send are from a template that may have been altered slightly to fit the situation and item for sale.
If you get emails like this sack them off immediatly you won't win.

Hi there. Sorry for the delayed reply.
I hope that you are still interested in the vehicle.
I am the first owner with the registration document and full owner of the vehicle.
The car is in excellent condition, one slight mark on one of the alloy wheels due to parking.
I will accept offers around £5300, please feel free to negotiate?
The car is a 5 speed manual drive.
It can be viewed/collected in *********** or may be willing to meet within a short distance.
Is there a specific picture you require as I believe most of them to be on the website advert?
If you would like to speak to me regarding anything please feel free to phone me on ***********(wish i didn't put my mobile now!!)
Thanks again for your interest,
Regards Mr *********

Good Evening,
Thanks for your quick response and am also excited to hear from you the car is still available for sale and thanks for the information you just gave about the car and am quite delighted to hear from you the car is still in great conditions .
I just want you to know that I'm buying the CAR on behalf of my husband as our family are expanding because we are expecting our tripplet babies soon as our first children since we got married for the past 5 years because my pregnancy is due i could deliver the babies at ny time from now.
I'm glad that i will soon become a mother.
Really my self and my husband owed only one CAR at present now that we would be having our tripplet as our first children our only one CAR would Not contain us any more that was myself and my husband decided to get one additional CAR.
Without taking much time i should be arranging for the payment and shipping process right away hopefully before this week runs down.
Please i want you to email me more pictures if is still available both the exterior and interior i would really appreciate that soo much.
Really i would 've come for the viewing of the CAR due to my conditions now am heavily pregnant 'cos the doctor told me that i should not stress my self any more as a woman that is carrying a tripplet in her womb.in this case i would not be able to come for the viewing.
You should understand my predicament,but according to what you had already explain to me in your previous email i'm fully satisfied with all the conditions of the CAR.
I will offer you £5,600 inclusive the advert fees just because i know the worth of the car and more so what you' ve stated about the car details in the advert and in additional including the advert charges you've spent soo far .
Presently we are in Guernsey in channel islands in United Kingdom.
Mind you that i never requested for your bank details all i needed from you is the details below where by the payment would be send to you by post office.Never give out your bank details to anybody over the internet is too risky.
All i needed from you is the FULL NAME that would be on the bankers draught, and your PHYSICAL ADDRESS that the payment would be send to by post office
My self and my husband will take care of the shippment we had already consult a private shipping company who's going to handle it professionally for us both the shipping cost and other necessary activities concerning the shipment of the CAR.
Apart from the car being shipped at your location there is other consignments the shipping company needs to ship for me some state in uk but have made it clear to him your location will be his first arrival before moving to any other destination .
However,as for the payment am paying you a united kingdom bankers draught in (GBP) POUNDS that's the only option and safest way for me to transfer CASH ,which am going to instruct my business associate to send you a bankers draft via royal mail.
The bankers draft would CLEARED in any bank in united kingdom my bank advised and it will take maximum of 3 to 4 working days to FULLY CLEARED INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, and once you've confirm the payment clearance and the money is finally available in your bank account the car should be hand over to the shippingagent and papers document as well once they arrive your location.
Thanks soo much and i really appreciate your efforts for taking your time to response to my enquiry.Hopefully to hear back from you today in order to proceed further with the payment and shipping arrangements as soon as possible. I look forward to hear back from you today.
Cheers
Mrs Annabel Lawrence
