And, "Richard" is not "from the USA...English is his 2nd or 3rd language; those aren't typos, but "just slightly off" syntax. Tell the guy to DFD.

i asked him for the VIN number and he said it was all packed up hers what he said......

Post his email, so some of us more aggressive ol'fools can hammer his azz via email, lol!

This is a BIG SCAM! :rant: I have read the exact same story many times on different other luxury cars on ebay.

Correct. His English is even worse than mine. Imagine :)

Aucun monsieur, votre anglais n'est parfait ! :thumbup:
BR,md

Yeah, man. Read that email he sent out loud, the guys at my 7-11 can write better than that! This has Nigerian check scam written all over it.

Merci David but no it is far to be perfect (same for my accent BTW) but after having spent 7 years in the USA I am afraid it will not get any better now :) When I found out that my accent worked with ladies over here (go figure ??) I stop trying to get rid of it :) If you are interested I can teach you how to speak with a French accent :bustingup. But use it only with ladies since it can also get you into trouble sometime ;) . One word to avoid is 'CHIRAC' :bustingup

Fr0zty, sorry for having highjacked your post

Wow, what a deal. If you don't go through with it, can you send me his contact info? That is just too good to pass up!

:tsk: :tsk: :tsk: :tsk: :tsk:

Same Scam, same guy
 

Same scam and same guy I posted here about a few weeks ago. He was in London then and his name was Warren. Here's his email to me, same email:

Hi,

I am sorry but i cannot send you the documents right now. The car and
all
papers are already at TNT cargo all loaded, crated and arranged for
shipping.
I already made all the arrangements and you will receive soon the
delivery
schedule.
If I will go there and try to get the documents I will lose the custom
that
I already took care of and also the shipping arrangements and have to
make
once more all papers so that the car can be ready for shipping.
I will provide you the tracking number, so you will inspect the
shipment
route on-line on their website, being insured that the car is coming to
you.
I really want this deal to go through but I have already signed with
TNT
cargo for the shipping and I see no problem at all if we proceed in
this way
because you will have a return policy (As soon as the car arrives, you
will
inspect it and if it does not matches 100% to your expectations, you
will
return it in max. 10 days since the arrival date.
In this case I will send you the full amount back and you will send me
the
item and I will pay the return shipping and insurance).
I want to take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is as
legitimate as it could possible be.I’m a very serious seller and my
rating
on Ebay proves that (please check it) and also eBay confirmed in their
email.
The car is in excellent running and body condition, has a clear title,
never
had an accident and there are no flaws on it or any other mechanical
problems. Will come with the car, the title, the original manuals, all
the
paperwork needed to register the car under your name.
I am a completely trustworthy person. I take online transactions
extremely
seriously.
So I'll wait to hear from you to make this deal today or the following
day .
I trust that this is satisfactory to you & upon successful completion
hope
that we are able to continue to do good business (with more trust &
less
hassle) in the future.

God Bless and thank you for your time and willingness to understand my
position.

Respectfully,
Warren

If you go along with him further, he will even send you some emails that look like it came directly from Ebay and wants money by Western Union. I had reported him to Ebay and thought he was gone. But I guess the scumbag is back!
