I've put my Audi for sale on Pistsonheads
I've had the first email from someone which said
"Advise if the car still available for sale and confirm the asking price as it is stated on the advert"
I replied
"Yes the Car is still for sale and the asking price is correct."
He then replied
"State the price" Strange!!!!
I replied
"Bit of a strange request as you can see it in the advert.
The asking price is £12.995"
Then he replied
"Thanks for your prompt response,I will like you to know that I have
had informations about your car and i promised to purchase it from
you .
So first of all I will like you to please put this car off advert to
avoid interrruptions from other buyers as I will want you to count it
sold,ok.
Due to my condition of payment,i will conviniently pay £12400.00 for it .
i will send you a cheque/Bankers draft of £4,500.00 .
You will deduct £1,000.00 as a deposit for it which is non-refundable.
You will send £3,500.00 to shipping agent asap the cheque has
cleared. I was informed by him that, he will need the money for
shipping in advance at least a weekend before i will be in Uk
The remaining balance of £11500.00 payed into your bank account or by
cash before it can be pick up.i will be waiting for 48hrs for you to
confirmed the balance before the shipping agent can picked up it .
You need not to worry as our prepaid shipping Agent will come to pick
it up from your base for shippment asap the balance has been
confirmed by you .the reason for this shippment method is as a result
of the conjestion at the singapore seaport, which does not make it
directly shippable there.
I will compensating you with £100 for the time involve in paying the
shipping agent and also want you to withdrawl the advert.
confirm this and provide name, address and Mobile phone number for
cheque/Bankers draft payment to be delivered to you .I look forward to
a successful transaction with you and await your urgent response.
