Code: Select allSeller mail: Barbara M <[email protected]>
Thank you for your interest in my car.
I bought this car when I was living with my ex-husband in Germany.
It was our family car and it was mostly used by me to take the kids to school. I recently got a divorce after I found out that for the past 3 years he had an affair with another woman.
It was a painful divorce for me, but at least I got my kids. Now I returned with them to my hometown in Ireland. I wanted to keep the car, but my younger kid cries every time he sees it so I want to sell it as fast as I can, to end this chapter of our lives.
I tried to sell it here but nobody is interested because it is too difficult to drive here so I decided to try to sell it back there .
I already found a reputable delivery company specialized in this kind of transaction and they can take care of everything for me ( including the car registration on your name ).
They even allow the buyer to test the car before paying for it and I think it is the fair thing to do.
The delivery taxes are not included, but at this price, I'm sure that’s not a problem.If you are interested, please let me know your name and address so I can forward them to the delivery company and see the total costs to your location.

Thank you and hope to hear from you today
   
Barbara


Code: Select allThe total cost including the delivery to Bratislava, Slovakia and all taxes is 9200 Euro.
I am 100% convinced you will love my vehicle !
The technicians from the Shiply Courier made all the technical verifications and found the car in very good condition.
I have another interested client, so you will have to decide if you want my car or not .
If you are interested and agree with the price I can have Shiply Courier to contact you with details to finish our deal.

Thank you and hope to hear from you soon

PS : If you want to get the details from Shiply Courier yourself, contact them directly at [email protected] and ask about their protection program. Make sure that you specify my name and the vehicle model and my reference code: "FZ77342" in order to receive detailed info.

Hi Xfire, sorry you have been scammed.

There is a - however small - chance to get your money back. Print out the whole email correspondence you had with the criminal. It just might be possible that your bank is able to recall the transaction. But as I said, don't hang your hopes too high.

And there is a way to get back at the scammer by closing his own bank account. To do this, we need the emails he wrote to you with the complete headers.
You can use this guide, but I see you already know how to do it.
http://www.abika.com/Reports/Samples/em ... rguide.htm
Send me a Private Message (use the PM button at the bottom of my post) with all the bank correspondence, and we will take care of it.

Did the scammer use a fake website for Shiply? If so, please post it here.

Xfire:

Please make sure you bring the emails to your bank and see if you can get the transaction reversed. It may not be possible, but in some cases victims have gotten their money back this way, so it is very important you try.

So I wanted to rent a flat in Wien.
I found one http://www.immobilienscout24.at/expose/ ... rt%3Dprice
and decied to ask about it.
I have became mails from [email protected] about it, should i share all of them here?

She wrote me that she hired shimply ltd agency and they will contact with me.
As she said i became an email from [email protected] with beautiful logo, bank name, servis contact, number of transaction, my and her address.. and also with the fake site!! .. and aks to pay kaution for this bank account
then i became next mail that they have problems with payment and try to fix it and i became new bank account...
i pay ( :bondage: ) and send them copy of payment card. They promise to send to me an agent with keys and contract.

Today I write an email to shilpy ltd to know the name and number phone the agent.. they said they never hear about this transaction..

i'm from Poland ... i'm going to the police right now but i don't believe they would help

I can't tell you aivii how personally ashamed I feel as an Englishman and ex-banker that our systems are so easily abused by fraudsters.

It would be very interesting to see the mail you received from the scammer quoting the bank account details, with your personal information deleted, of course. It's possible to upload pictures to the forum.

The point is that any bank should be outraged that a scammer is not only abusing their bank accounts but also using their name and bank logos to do it. When I was employed by a bank I would be sacked if I ever used the bank name or logo in a form that wasn't approved and registered.

You aren't the only victim of this type of scam but when the scammers are actually using the banks name and logo to do it, it really is time for the banks to do something about it. It's an absolute disgrace and I'll gladly raise the matter through my MP as it's disgraceful that people in other countries are now being affected.

In my youth opening a bank account was second only to getting married as a traumatic life experience but now accounts are opened with the same care as bus tickets are issued, and the consequences are leaving a massive trail of victims.

Looking back at the bank details quoted on the payment slip from 2011, I am in a state of shock if that indicates the scammer has been allowed to operate a fake company bank account. I know I'm retired and a bit old-fashioned but this is simply unacceptable.

I'm so sorry aivii, but it is undoubtedly a scam. :(

This passage on the last scan is nonsense, but I understand that you wouldn't notice errors relating to UK company law.

Shiply Ltd is a company registered in Wales and Spain.


Wales doesn't have a Company Registry.

There is no explanation as to why it carries the Chase logo when the receiver's bank account is with La Caixa - a Spanish bank.

As the name of the account holder is also appearing in the scam adverts I'll post is so that other potential victims can pick it up - Meriem Ghrib.
