Edc Logistics (European Shipping Company) BEWARE
I was thinking of buying a second hand car from a guy in Italy. This how it went.......
Thank you for your interest in purchasing my car. 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. 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. 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 pitty 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 £3,500 including the shipping costs,insurance and handling(delivery to EUROPE). You will not have to pay additional taxes for this. Then i got this email from a company called Edc Spedition, Our company is the European market leader in global express and international mail services.

Car scammer?
Looks like we've been the victims of a hoax though we have not parted with any money. We thought the car was too good to be true ... very reasonable price for that car.
From: Janet Kneller [mailto:jan38bb@googlemail.com] Sent: 31 March 2008 12:15 To: Brown, Chris Subject: Re: Freelander for sale Hi, The 2004 Land Rover Freelander HSE SATNAV is still for sale. never implied in any accident, in excellent condition. There are no signs of prior damage on this vehicle. I worked for 2 years in a private clinic as a doctor. During this period I bought a car. Now I am pregnant and I have decided to give birth in my home country so I have decided to sell my car and go back to Switzerland. The final price is £ 4.000 sterling + shipping to your door. To calculate the shipping cost please include your shipping address in your next email. I am the registered keeper and there is no outstanding finance on the vehicle. The car is in perfect condition, the bodywork is immaculate, no scratches, dents or hidden defects as well as the interior in excellent non-smoking condition. Due to amount involved and due the fact I am not located in the United Kingdom, I only accept third party transaction mediator. All documents, including V5 log book on your name will be provided along with the car. Please email me soon if you want to move forward and let me know if you need anything else. All the best!

Just thought i would add that this bloke is still on the loose. I saw a peugeot 206 on pistonheads with all the fancy sporty bits on, very good price at £3600 but it would sell easily for £5000+. My missis was really up for buying it and got all excited at the thought of such a beauty of a car for so little money. She sent him the email (no phone number) and got this message back
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. 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 £3600 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. Also has full service history and it is hpi cleared. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have. Thank you In a nutshell, you would be stupid to pay for a car that you can't see. I cant believe folks actually fall for this
