Gadget Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Am trying to sell my gf car and have put it on trade it, that same day I had a email from click cars saying a person was interested about buying it. Dear Advertiser, Darren from the ClickCars website would like to contact you with reference to your advertisement and has left the following message for you. Hello, How are you doing?hope cool.I am interested in your car posted for sale on the web.I am very interested in it and thats why i want to make an inquiry on it now..I'll need to know if the car is still available and whats the price you want to sell it for me also send some picture if available.. Please email me the car details here [email protected] Regards Darren That was the email, he sounds foreign. It also had the description I put on trade it. So I replied giving him all the details I know. I have now recieved another email saying he will send me a cashiers cheque (including shipping fees that I have to send to ???) Hello, I am very happy to hear from you that the car is still available for sale.I am very pleased with the condition of it.I will be purchasing the car with a Cashier cheque.I hope you are satisfy with this,because i don't have any other form of payment.I will make the cheque payable to your name and i will need the details below to get the cheque to you. Full Name.. Address.. City.. County.. Postal Code.. Phone Number.. Price of the Car.. I will be waiting for the information as soon as possible so that i can make the payment to you. N.B.. I have a reputable shipping company that will take care of the pick-up and the paperwork.They will do that with my Lawyer as soon as you get the payment and you have it cash from your bank.They will be able to do the shipping by then when you have the money in your bank account.I also want you to know that the shipping fee will be included to the cheque that i will be sending to you so that when you have the cheque cash and you 've take your money from the cheque.You will need to wire the rest of the money included to the shipping company and they will take care of the shipment.I'm very sorry that i won't be seeing the car because of my work schedule,it really keep me busy..But my shipping company agent and Lawyer will take care of everything after i send the payment to you..

carl0s Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 How does it work?? It works because you wire a load of money to the shipping man, then a month or two later the international cheque bounces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
