Could even be genuine. Don't know how much advertising space costs.

strange

If I've read that right, the car is paid for by the advertising displayed upon it.

However I am free to sell the car at any point.

Whats to stop me selling the car to the g/f for a pound then removing the adverts?

Looks and sounds genuine, if not misguided and unachievable.

Isn't that some company in Nigeria ?
I doen't trust this kind of business.
In holland we sometimes get letters from Nigerian companies and they would like to send you money, in the end you always lose about 10.000 euro's to that company. It's been on TV in the netherlands, you must be very carefull with these things, especially because you have to pay first.

Very suss indeed. Starts by saying max value is $150,000 then £150,000 is talked about later.

Whos $'s????? HK$ are very different to us$.

It also states you win a voucher for the car. Im sure vouchers are basically worthless in terms of face value. Surprisingly it doesnt state what car show you will be presented at. It will be a nightmare if it is in an obscure country whereby you cant get it home.

Am i being over sceptical?

I would never trust this. Too many things that are just not right. Email, no bank guarantee of any sort, he says he has other revenue than says he needs the 10.000 to fund this project... Don't do it if you were thinking... Not Locost anyway...

Not with a hotmail email and a mobile number.

Looks well dodgy!

If it sounds too good to be true, it's usually because it is. If you think you can raise £150,000 from advertising on a single car you need to lay off the drugs a touch

limited companys can go bust especially when you recieve £10000!


spunky - 26/6/06 at 08:44 PM

Yeah.
That buyer has either just bagged a new AMV8 or F430 at a saving of around £140k, or he's £10,000 poorer.
