Hi all,

I have just found out an another wannabe scammer. They are getting smarter and now use very accurate pictures, names and telephone numbers that at least have the area code matching the city where the car is located.

This guy though revealed himself in the first mail, the rest went as usual:

I appreciate your intention to buy my car. I will try to describe my car as accurately & detailed. Mechanically the car is in very good condition, tires are in good shape, brakes work well. The interior is in virtually spotless condition. The seats are clean & not torn. The exterior is in excellent condition, has no technical damages, no scratches or dents & the TÜV verification is valid until September, 2013. It has a complete service book. I must tell you that I`m located in London, UK & the car is here with me. I lived & worked in Germany but unfortunately I divorced after 6 months from my wife. It was a painful divorce for me, but at least I got my kids with me. Now, I moved back in London, UK where I try to rebuild my life & I must sell the car under market value so I can complete the procedure for divorce & division. My last price is € 5.000. I realise that is a cheap price for such a car but my special situation makes me do things that I wouldn't do in normal circumstances. If you can`t come here to pick up the car i can ship it to your location & you will have 5 days inspection period untill you decide to buy it or not. Please let me know if we can do this & I will detail you how we can make the transaction through a transport company.

Best Regards from London !
