This scammer is claiming to be selling a 2010 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER T5 2.0 102 BHP Campervan on Auto Trader in the UK, he doesn't have the vehicle to sell, it is a scam aimed at stealing your money.

Hello there,

I am glad to hear that you are interested to buy my 2010 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER T5 2.0 102 BHP Campervan. Although I am registered in the UK,i recently moved to Portimao, Portugal (where my family is from) and the van is being shipped from here. I want to sell it in UK due to the fact that it's an UK version (right handed),it meets all UK standards.I bought this van from UK and It still has UK registration, so you won't have to pay any import and insurance fees.The van meets all United Kingdom guidelines so there will be no problem regarding UK Customs policy on receiving the camper.The vehicle is in perfect condition, the bodywork is immaculate,no scratches, dents or hidden defects as well as the interior in excellent non-smoking condition , never been implied in any accident and it is as advertised. The camper comes with log book, HPI cleared, No finance. You will get from me the keys and all documents to register the van in your name.If the vehicle is not how i described it, i will offer a full refund. It will be insured during transportation and will be delivered at your address in maximum 10 days. Final price is GBP 6,000 (the price includes shipping and insurance fees).The price is low because the van is right hand drive in a country where all vans are left hand drive so in the Portugal is very difficult to drive this type of vehicle and nobody wants to buy it here in Portugal.Instead of keeping it in garage (during this economical crisis), I decided to sell it to someone back in the UK for a really attractive price.

I want to take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legitimate,the deal will be manage by a very well company,in this way both buyer and seller are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction.
Let me know if you need any further details or if you would like to buy my car.

Thank you!

Luke

You will be given a 15 days inspection period from the day you receive the car at home( i will ship it to your address insured for full value to you ).
If you decide to keep the car, then you will have to authorize Yahoo Finance to release the funds to me, and the transaction is complete.If the vehicle is not as described ( perfect interior,exterior,mechanical condition ), you will be able to send the vehicle back through the same shipping company ( return postage at my expense ), and ask Yahoo Finance to return the money to you.

Dear friend,

I bought this camper from UK and it is still registered there so you don't have to pay any import taxes or any other fees.The camper comes with log book, HPI cleared, No finance with full service history.You don't have to worry about anything.There will be no additional taxes or costs for you to pay.

In order for us to go to the next level i will need you to provide the following info your full name, your exact address and I will notify Yahoo Finance that you are selected as my buyer.

After I get in touch with them they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.

I will be waiting for your email with the info in order to get this ball rolling
Best regards,


Hello,
Thank you for your details. I contacted Yahoo Finance today and they told me that the buyer of my car need to be registered with an Hotmail ( MSN ) or Yahoo email before we go to the next level. They ask this because they will issue the invoice only under Yahoo Finance or Microsoft Corporation Protection. If it's not too much to ask I would really appreciate if you would get an e-mail with them.I will send it to Yahoo Finance and were will be almost there.
Thank you in advance.


Hello again,

Let me assure you that you will just love the vehicle, it's a great camper and I am sure that you will take good care of it. Just to show that I mean business I have already contacted Yahoo and provided them complete transaction details. I think that they will contact you shortly by email and notified regarding the transaction terms (shipping and payment), and security measures.

Please email me after Yahoo's staff contacts you and let me know if we can proceed forward with the transaction.

I will proceed with the shipping immediately after they will confirm the payment. I will provide all the shipping info at that time, to you and Yahoo.

I look forward to end this deal with you.

Regards,

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
