conclusive.

I received the following cryptic reply to my ad to sell an Audi A6 Avant
(Canadian); two subsequent shorted communiqués afterward were no more
specific, and appeared equally translated from another tongue........God
Bless someone selling a car???

"I got your mail and your price well accepted.
However,you have to give us sometime to contact our client on phone,
we have been trying hisline for sometime now,i believe it's switched off,
Theamount in the check he deposited for the order is
bigger than what should be paid to you, though it's meant
or the total expenses which includes the purchase ,
the pick up and the shipping bills. so we want to know if we
shall carry on with that or if he will make arragement for
another check ASAP. he is presently in saudi arabia on a visit.
i will get back to you as soon as i conclude issues
with him.Please get back to us as soon as you recieve this.
Thanks and God bless,

Augustine"

 

I have seen the conclusion to this somewhere and can't remember where, but
yes, it is a scam. It's something to do with paying them the difference
between their big check and your small asking price, as they can't contact
the buyer. If I come across it again I will post it.

From a point at sea, to the circles of your mind, this is K Bourke:

If you followed up, what's the betting that you would eventually get
an email asking for money in good faith in order to speed up the
transaction, your bank account details, credit card number, life
policy number, the title deeds to your house, your daughter's mobile
phone number...

Plus an infinite amount of spam email.

Smells suspiciously like that Nigerian heir to a fortune...

This IS a scam .

They will ask you to take a **certfied** checque for an amount larger than
the purchase price, give them the vehicle PLUS the difference in cash.


The cheque will be bogus.

Only accept cash in a case like this. Do NOT take any form of cheque
payment, credit card or anything else. If you must take a cheque, wait for
it to clear and you have CASH in hand before delivering the vehicle.

The *fact* that they are a broker or representing a foreign client, etc., is
IRRELEVENT!! WHO CARES???

Keep in mind all you want to do is exchange a vehicle you no longer want for
CASH you do want!!

Sad stories are for readers and radio shows.

Unless they show up with CASH stay away from both of these people and all of
their cousins.

SCAM.

They overpay you and youy end up out shipping, a car, and
their out of country cashiers check bounces.

 

The cashiers check - wait two months - no joke - and don't touch the funds.
It will bounce. If you use the funds, the bank will come after you.

 

We've had at least 1000 here. Please see
