Does this sound like a scam?
« on: 29 July 2005, 22:41 »
Good Day,
I have been watching out for this exact vehicle on behalf of my client,I figured out your adv as the most suitable.Pls let me know if  Â£2,250 is least price you'll go for and where to direct the cheque or bankers draft for payment ASAP.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Williams

I had loads of them wait for the phonecalls there are companys that just plough through autotrader ringing you up. :( Put it on Ebay with a reserve.  just don't put rare, l@@k, or similar in the title ;)

My favourite way of dealing with them is to say that the car is fitted with a colostomy bag and is this the model they are looking for?
They always say yes :laugh:
