Thorin Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I got the same e-mail, checking the mail headers the e-mail was sent from a Telewest broadband customer in Edinburgh. Completely legit then I'd say. edit: 01516 isn't that in the Wirral? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Still a scam IMHO. "I only accept third party transaction mediator" Yeah, right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eve Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Will be interested to see the response to picking the car up in person with cash! My guess is there won't be a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 We had something like this on one of the Corvette Forums in the US. The seller was telling everyone the car had come her way following a divorce settlement and she was in England. So I offered to check it out over here for anyone interested in the US. I emailed the 'seller' asking if I could come and view the car. I just kept getting replies to the effect of 'I want to use Western Union' or whatever and saying she would pay for delivery to my door and totally ignoring the suggestion that I could come and view the car in person. Never did get any further than that. Scammers - I hate them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraPL Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 just received this from the owner Hi, The 1996 FERRARI F355 Spider 2dr Convertible is still for sale. A great car, never implied in any accident, in excellent condition with full service history. My job put me on the way to England and I purchased this car there. Now I have to sell it as I've got back home in Czech Republic. The car is here as well. The final price is £14995 + shipping to your door. For an accurate shipping cost please include your shipping address in your next email. As you probably noticed, the price is rather low. But since it's a right hand drive car, not even a dealer will offer me a better price here. The fact that it's still UK registered did not help either. I am the registered keeper and there is no outstanding finance on the vehicle. The car is in excellent 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 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! all above board then Just received exactly the same letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 What email address is she using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIL Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Why is it that when someone new comes onto the forum some people immediately have to take an aggressive standpoint and feel the need to to take the piss out of them? If we are not careful the good name of this forum will soon turn sour! Anyway....welcome Spider, nice car and thanks for making the effort to track this forum down....

supra dan Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 What email address is she using? [email protected] so if she is in the Czech Republic why is it .co.uk ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 even I can an answer that. She says she has gone back home. So she set it up when she lived here and now accesses it over there. whether the rest of the story is true is another matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 This thread is proof of why people come up with scams like this. Greed gets the better of people. I really can't believe some of you are still questioning whether it's genuine or not. If it was genuine - even if she needed a quick sale - it would not be priced at £15K! FFS - a Ferrari dealer would probably give £30K for a £45K car without a moments hesitation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
