ok, dont know if this is in the correct place but here goes.

as you know im fabia vrs is up for sale on here and ive put it on the autotrader this morning. within 30mins of it going on the website i got an email of someone interested and asking for more info on the car. i emailed the person back and this was their next reply

Hii Darren

Thanks for taking your time for the mail and am also excited to hear from you the car is still available for sale and thanks for the information you just gave about the car and am quite delighted to hear from you the car is still in immaculate conditions .Please i don't meant to be rude to you at this point i should be convience this car is genuiely owned by you and i hope all the relevant papers document is fully completed and available as well just for safety sale assurance.

Really am getting the car unbehalf of my dear wife whom i just got married with two weeks ago.She is from uk in sales.Presently she is in toronto canada my native country.

As you will quite agree with me in uk they use to right hand drive and over there in canada we are to use left hand drive.She really find it soo difficult to drive my personal car which i left for her due to the position of the steering and she wouldn't want to risk her life to drive my car.Therefore she instructed me to buy her a uk car which she is normally used to drive in wales.

Right now she needed a car due to the distance from her working place to house is about an hour drive.

Am sure she will be delighted have got one for her and am counting on you now to consider the car sold to me most expecially for my wife sake.

Without taking much time i should be arranging for the payment and shipping process right away hopefully before this week runs down.

Please i want you to email me more pictures if is still available both the exterior and interior i would really appreciate that soo much because it would not be possible for me to come for the viewing due to my course programme in dublin ireland and as for the price i will offer you

Bin it, and don't even consider replying.

It's a scam.

Scam!

yeah, thought so. cheers.

Darren

The way the email is worded sounds like an eastern european has composed it.

Keep well clear.

lack of proper punctuation scares me:rofl:

Typical nigerian scammers.

Run away

Pity this didn't come along when I was selling my Leon.

Total scam. Don't reply just bin it.

:orb_runni Looks dodgy to me.

Try this link for further examples of these idiots.

Classical phising mail -dodgy english, pointless waffle and the next stage would be that he wants you to send your bank account details. Seen this before, where the so called buyer wants to send the car to his wife/girlfriend who is living in Mexico, Italy etc.

I had a few scams attempt to do me over when I was selling blakfabbie. They are pretty obvious though. If they are overseas they are more than likely scams cos they get you to pay shipping etc then just keep the money! Also got one ringing up with a load of b0ll0cks about being some agent who gets someone to buy your car and you pay them

Would stay away from this, as it is tried plenty of times on e baywith smaller items.

I will only sell if i can see the persons face get the money from them & they sign the V5 doc in front of me.

Skoda have dealers in Canada do they ?? If not, I'd hate to the the round journey he will have to make to get it serviced!!

If I'm wrong then, hey ho!!
