Response is:

 

 

 

Hello,


Thank you for getting back, Am Stephan from Aberdeen, Am really
interested in buying your car after viewing it on the ad. But wont be
able to come for inspection cos am currently not around, I went for a
missionary programee in Western Europe, I agree to buy at your price
as long as it is in a good condition, How I wish i could come for
inspection and view with my eyes but am currently away for the
programme and will be away for quite a number of weeks.
I will make full payment to you and once your payment clears, I will
arrange for a shipper to contact you, sign the paper work and pick it
up from you. This is the best way I can handle this for us both, Am
keen like I said earlier.
I wont be able to bring cash physically, the best way to pay for me
would be through PayPal which is safer, i will also cover the PayPal
transfer fees. Kindly send me a PayPal payment invoice or create an
account at www.PayPal.com if you don't have one.
Have a nice day and please,I'd like to know certain things too; Are
you the first owner? What is your reason for selling? I'm sorry, just
want to be very sure about the sale before i proceed.



Regards, Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Tell him it's not available for a little while due to damage it sustained when it hit a crocodile this evening - remind him that it's a surprisingly common occurrence when fording the rivers round your neck of the woods... given he's from Scotland, he'll understand.

I answered.

 

Sorry, cash only.

 

 

Funny but I've not had a response from that.

 

Which Aberdeen is he from, the one in Nigeria?

It was the name that got me. I noticed the Eastern European spelling of his first name but I've seen that before.

 

The Police won't do anything as no crime has yet been committed and he's probably not in the UK. About time the world got together and dealt with these scammers.

 

Just think, if I was a doddery old pensioner, I might have fallen for it.

 

Er, hang on.....

Three out of four ain't bad.

It's not the old pensioners, they were brought up in a sceptical world, where computers were never trusted and technology was always kinda feared. Then people my generation get all the warnings and well aware if the scams.

It's the people in between, like my mother! She still leaves car unlocked and keys in car, just in case she looses them!!! When she came to Birmingham to visit I had to make sure she locked her car all the time!

Now that's a country girl that grew up on a farm in the middle of the mendips, I think she's been north of Bristol about 6 times in her life!
