bmxdave Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Ive just offered a seller the amount below, and asked a bit about how id get the car, what do you think? Im only worried about the fact that hes in Italy. I have no reason to not trust him, but you do have to be very carefull these days of who your dealing with. I wont pay him outside of ebay, and will try to pay via cash in hand rather then cheque or any other method. Whats your opinion? I`m personaly located in Italy for the moment ( I`m here with some personal problems ) ...The item is located home and I will get somebody to ship it to you ...no problems...The price for the item is £2,200.00 The deal will go strictly according to eBay classified rules and policy .To start the official transaction, I need to know your details : - ebay user ID - full name and address ( for the invoice so I know where to send the item ) ... as soon as I have them I'll start the official procedure, and eBay will notify you about this. You'll also receive important guidelines + instructions from them ( please go through them exactly ). I'll handle the shipping, so this will be free of charge for you + I am willing to deduct you with the fee for handling the payment procedure. Also, a refund policy will be included.Looking forward to hear from you. Cheers guys!
atomic punk Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 I'd be more than a little bit uncomfortable
flyingbanana Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 i would stay well away from that
escort21 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Its posted up on buysellcortina and the general agreement is that its a scam
bmxdave Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Posted February 27, 2007 keep away from it then? I did send him two messages and got the same reply back, which made me suspicious.
Cookie Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 SCAM ALERT! Seriousley mate stay away from anything that looks,smells or sounds like a 'I'm currently at 'anywhere in the world' and not where you can meet and hand over cash' story, avoid like the plaque!!!!!!!!!!
emu Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 This is the green cortina yeah? I stuck my oar in and sent the person who has listed it as an auction the item number for the classified ad. ( The auction seller has loads of feedback and seemed to have sold a few of cars on e-bay). Anyway, he replied to say he has reported it to e-bay .
escortmad79 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 I thought the same so posted it in car chat the other day, it's been advertised by scammers twice & both times it has been pulled! F*ckin nobs!
escort21 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 It was sold as a genuine car a while back but the scammers have used the pics from the old sale
bmxdave Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Posted February 28, 2007 Ah turds. I had it all planned out too. Good job i was suspicious and didnt go for it!
