hi all,
thank god i found this site just before i was about to send this guy (so called Martin v) £3200 for an AUDI S3 i thought i was getting for a bargain.

Hi, I see you are interested of my car, first of all I have to tell you
that the vehicle is in good condition, has no technical damage at all,no
scratches or dents, no hidden defects, no smoking. It's fun and robust
to drive. Technical inspection and emissions testing is passed and
stamped as well.
It has title of ownership, cleared of any obligations or fees and comes
with all the documents you need to register it. The reason I am selling
the car is because I really have to not because I don't like it anymore.
I have worked in UK for the last 2 years and I've purchased the car
there.
My company wanted me back home, so currently I'm in Rome, Italy. I've
bring the car home with me and the car is here in Italy now. The car is
still registered in uk and has uk papers and plates. I decided that is
better to sell it because I don`t use it anymore (the wheel is on right
side and is very difficult for me to drive it in Italy) and it `s a pity
to keep such a car and not to use it. I realize that is a cheap price
for such a car but my special situation makes me do things that I
wouldn't do in normal circumstances.
The price I am looking for my car is £3200 including the shipping costs,
insurance and handling (delivery to EUROPE).
You will not have to pay additional taxes for this.
The car has MOT and Road tax unitl next year. Also has full service
history and it is hpi cleared.
Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

Thank you

it all seemed too good to be true, i done a HPI check on the car and everthing seemed ok, i then replyed asking to send me a photo of the VIN, No reply.

Hi,
I would like to use a shipping company for this deal, the process is
very easy and I have just bought a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee and this is
why I know how it works.
This company will handle the delivery of the car and also they will
handle all the registration papers. If we will use it you will have 5
days to inspect the car before you decide to buy it.
I will pay delivery! The delivery time will be around 7 days and the car
will be delivered at your home address. In this time you will receive
the tracking number of the transaction so you can use it to check the
status on the company website.
Let me explain you the whole process:
First I will need your details, full name and address. As soon as I get
the info from you I will take the car and go to the shipping company to
transfer it in their custody. I will pay all the shipping charges. After
the car is in their custody they will send you a confirmation and also
payment instructions. They work as an escrow service and will hold the
payment during the 5 days period for inspection. After the payment is
confirmed to them, they will get the car to your home address and will
also give you the documents of registration and the car will be left in
your custody, in this period you can inspect the car, take it to a
service for inspection and drive test it. After the 5 days period is
over the shipping company will come to you and if you decided to keep
the car you will transfer the documents on your name and after the car
is registered on your name they will release the payment to me. If you
decide not to buy the car they will get the car back and will send you a
full refund of the payment.
Please e-mail me with your decision and also your full name and
address!!
My phone no. is: 0039 3284-011-602, I am available in the morning before
10 AM, in the afternoon I am at work so will get back to you by email.

Thank you
Martin
