Title: Only a hunch but.........
Post by: Ginge 35Edition on 22 July 2013, 20:25
I think that this reply to my advert might not be genuine?

"Hello,
Thanks for your response, I will buy your car and the money will be available within 5working days.
Am originally from the UK, but am working with the Red Cross organization in Syria . I have been here for 2 and half years, I will try and summarize my offer in a way that you will understand very well.
Due to the nature of my job, I do not use a personal mobile, so for now, we will discuss through Email until the transaction is concluded. I want to transfer the sum of USD850,000 to you, once you receive this money, you will take the exact amount for your car and keep the rest for me until I come over in September.
This money was given to me for safe-keeping by my late Friend Dr Isa Abdur Rahman, A Syrian British doctor who died some few weeks ago in an attack on a field hospital where he was treating civilians. You can find out more on the link below.
www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/uk/article3775733.ece.

Dr Isa Abdur Rahman father serves Dr. Rifaat Al-Assad, younger brother of the former president of Syria, Hafez Assad but now in exile in U K because he is not in support of President Bashar Al-Assad, who inherited harsh dictatorship from his father who refused to embrace peace and hit reform for his country.
My Friend died in a bomb shell by the Syrian government forces trying to save innocent people. I inherited this money which was given to him by his late father, the money was made through an oil deal with his commander while serving the military.
I want to transfer this fund to you because i can't hide it any more as a foreigner; you will receive it as the beneficiary in Europe and will keep it until I come over in a month’s time.

I cannot transfer this fund through bank because banks are controlled by government forces which makes it impossible because of the sanction impose in the country by United Nations. 
I want to tell you that deals like this happen on daily bases but I decided to take this as my share for the selfless and dedicated service I rendered to my country. I believe I can trust you since am buying your car and now i have a solid chance to send the money out of Syria to Europe with the help of ECHO American Commission for humanitarian services that is working under the Red Cross that brings relief materials from Europe to where I work.
I wait for your fast response so we can go on. In less than 5 days the money should have been noted in your care, and then i will give you further details upon hearing from you. You will take the exact amount for your car and also 25% of the fund for  helping me and then keep 75% of the sum in safe place till I come, I hope I am been fair on this deal.
Please get back to me urgently."

OMG dude! Take the money and run! This is probably an once in a lifetime opportunity!

Having said that... That Nigerian Prince never came through with his offer, which reminds me, I really should chase up that long forgotten bank account registered in my name worth millions.
