James Willis Coventry, Coventry, United Kingdom 2012-08-04 08:34:28 Classified Ads Scam Gumtree | +1 Car sale pretended buyer on oil rig
I made the contact by email and got back the following mail...\"Hi,thanks for your response. I would have love to come for the inspection but due to the nature of my work i won\'t be able to do that as am a petroleum engineer and am on a rig offshore. Am buying it for my holiday cos I\'ll be coming soon from our rig. I have gone through the advertisement and am satisfied with it. I want you to come down by few pounds and then tell me the last price you want to sell it to me,as am really ready to buy it. I await your immediate reply.\" I then gave him a price and he came back to say that\'s great I\'ll pay by Paypal etc. that he worked on an oil rig and would soon be going on holiday...that couriers would pick the car up. I did not let him get any further with the scam. Thought about the name wellson . Cheeky...wells son, oil rig, oil \'well\' then looked up your site. Needless to say I emailed him back with plenty of really big pictures to download and then warned him not to fall off his oil rig. |
