Let's see what they say to this:

"Hi Hattie
 
Thanks for the response - that's a real bonus as I work for a Spanish company
and I will be in Madrid for business later this week (arriving Weds) so if you
could let me have your details I will come and view the car whilst I am there.
 
Do you have the original purchase invoice and could you let me know the
supplying UK dealer so that I can make a few checks?
 
Thanks,
Tony."

Seen this a few times. All they want to do is to convince you to make the payment to a company that will hold the money until you get the car. Company is actually theirs anyway. So its a win win for them. :nerd:

Here was the response from the scamming barstewards!

"Hello,

Since I have a written contract with the shipping company they will handle this sale for me and they will act as a third party between us.
I can give you the website of the Spanish shipping company where my car is held and you can get in touch with them.
They will explain the entire procedure regarding payment and shipping.
I also hope that the car being in Spain is not a major inconvenience for you.
I know that at this price I will find a buyer in no time, so this isn't a major inconvenience for me.

Kind regards and many thanks"


I'm surpirsed people actually get suckered in by this stuff.... it's amazing!

The pistonhead website have removed the ad now (bit late i think as some poor sod will be getting excited about a new GTD and handing over their hard earned cash!) :sick:

Let's see if they get bored....


Hi
 
Yes please - could you put me in touch with your representatives as soon as
possible as I will be in Spain in 2 days time and will have the funds made available
to proceed and drive the car back.
 
Thanks,
Tony.
