Car Sale
Daddylonglegs - 12/5/12 at 08:19 AM

Thought it had been a while since I got garbage email. Just put the wife's Golf Cabriolet up for sale and within 1hr of putting the advert online I got my first 'enquiry'.

"I saw your advert and wondered if it was still for sale?"

So I replied with a simple "yes it is"

This morning I got another email:

"> Thanks for the email, do let me know how much you are willing to sell
> to me and you need to assure that it is in perfect condition and i
> really love the pics. I will be paying with my paypal account which is
> the safest online payment mode. So please do reply me asap with your

>

> Thanks"

So I duly replied in the nicest possible way:

"Hi, as you are interested in buying the car without knowing anymore about it, you are obviously a very trusting soul So if you could please send me all your bank details and login credentials for the online account and I will be able to arrange transfer from your account to mine for the car.

I look forward to your reply.

Many thanks."

Can't wait for the reply

It might not fool the thousands of savvy people who know it's a scam but it only needs to fool one person for them to make some decent money.

Well, I got a reply.......

"Thanks for the email, do let me know how much you are willing to sell
to me and you need to assure that it is in perfect condition and i
would love to see any pictures if you have. I will be paying with my
