Dragonball Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Just so if you come across his name not to waste your time (apologies to any REAL Jerry Collins'! LOL!) Not even bloody good at it! LOL! Copy of mail - Hello, Thanks for your response.i am okey with your price and I have finalized issues with my client this morning. He has just informed me that he is expecting a refund payment, of a vehicle that he had earlier ordered and paid for before, but the order was later cancelled, because when the agent who went for the pick up of the vehicle, inspected the vehicle he discovered that vehicle was not in any good condition, so he cancelled the order and he then filed in for a refund of his money. My client intends to use this his refund to pay for this your vehicle that he has now ordered for. And due to company policy and book keeping, this refund payment which he is expecting, can only be made out in this one whole amount, that is, the full amount that he paid before because the company policy only allows a refund payment in one cashier check, so he has to instruct for the check payment to be drawn to you. So he has informed me that payment will get to you in a Certified Cheque drawn from a British Bank i will need the followiing info from you for the cheque to be writen in your name Your full address(street,city/town, state, Country and post code), your phone number and name to be ! written on the cheque pls He is expecting a refund payment of $13,000.When payment gets to you,deposit the cheque with your bankwhich will take (1-3) working days for a bank draft cheque to get cleared. Deduct the cost of your vehicle which is £8,750 and return his remaining balance of $4,650 back to my customer for him to be able to offset shipping charges and other commisson charges. After all payment has reached you and balance sent back to my client,the agent will come for pick up, while you send other the reciept and other title papers to my client via courier. As for pick-up and delivery,he would send you the name of the pick-up man once you confirm your payment and send the refund back to him so that he would be able to make the other payments.if there is any additional infomation about your car that was not indicated in the site(e.g warrant, loan,current e.t.c) please let me know, Confirm the reciept of this mail so that we can have payment delivered to you immediately.thank you and hoping to hear from you soon.

I dont see the point in this scam though, You send them your address, they send you a dodgy cheque, you find out its a dodgy cheque and then kick 10 shades of shit out of them when they try to pick your car up? mini rant over.....

What happens is the cheque DOES go through... but later bounces and the money comes back out of your account... by which time you have parted with your motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sakura Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I received an email about my car yesterday. It is much simpler than those mentioned previously, but I still think it is suspicious. There is a photo of the car and full details in the ad on Autotrader. Why does the "associate" not contact me, and why mention a "certified cheque" I haven't replied. Hello, Am interested in buying your advertised used car for an associate who said he's interested in it.Pls let us know the condition,cost and will also want you to send us a pic of the car .Our mode of payment will be by a Certified Cheque drawn from a British Bank.Get back as soon as you get the mail..Thanks and best wishes, Mark Comb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sakura Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I suppose it's not a good idea to have my email address listed with the ad. They must just trawl through and send emails, hoping someone will be daft enough to reply and give them details. They obviously don't know what cars they are asking about, hence the need for photos and full details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewizzy Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 These emails are getting rediculus.....We had the exact same emails yesterday and the day before too!!! Surely, no one would be stupid enough to actually fall for them?? Actually, I suppose greed can cause blindness to some people... Anyway, rant over.....
