grusks2 - 18/5/11 at 08:15 PM

I've had a offer on my MAC#1, had a lot of emails going backward and forward to a guy in Italy, we've agreed on a price....but because hes in Italy he after my bank details and will arrange a transporter to pick the car up


hes after these details

I send him a private bill of sale with my bank details on iban and BIC/swift code and a copy of document of the car

Once the payment is in the bank and cleared the transportation will be arranged.

Im just a bit worried about giving out these details, has my bank be got at with these details

I give out my bank details ( account and sort ) daily to my customers but not heard of these details above.

Will give my bank a call ( which is always fun ) tomorrow

I think you need IBAN for inter country transfer

There aint no money in my account as the wife takes it


The guy seems decent enough, just never of this type of transaction

Its a guy called Leonardo Gasparini, hes got a couple of westfields and his mate is after a BEC so hes been asking all the questions.
