Hello ,
Upon receipt of your previous email,i could see that you really want to sell the (2003 Ford Ranger 4dr) to me,I'm very okay with the price and condition .I tried calling you but i didn't get through,and like i told you earlier that i reside at 11719 South Laurel Drive Apt.2d,Maryland 20708, but i'll be leaving for England on 2 months course at the University of London later tommorrow night, and will be back in about 2 months which is the expiration of the course.I really want to purchase the (2003 Ford Ranger 4dr) as soon as i can because i've been searching for it since all these days,and i could not find any of the type in Laurel Maryland,so i decided to contact you when i saw yours on craigslist,concerning the payment,i'll instruct my younger brother to send out a personal business check in your names and it'll be sent to your address.
Though arrangements has been made for the payment and shipment.
I just spoke with my shipping company on the phone some few minutes ago they made me realised that i should send their payment together with the payment i'm sending to you,because if i send them a seperate check it 'll take about 30 working days for a United states check to clear in Greece where their head office is located at,while it takes only 24-48hrs for a cashier or a personal business check to clear in the USA,and again,my shippers would also be shipping some other goods for me from Japan to my house in Maryland,so i'm paying them together with the item that i'm purchasing from you,their main head office is located at Greece,they'll take care of everything in my absence,because this is not the first time they're working for me,they're my best shipping company,they always take care of my personal goods,dont bother that i can make it to come to your location to check out the condition,but i'm very ok with the way you emailed me about the condition.So i 'll instruct my brother to send you a payment in form of a check on the amount of $16,980 so
when you receive it,you'll deduct your payment which $7950 deduct another $100 for compesation of the stress you may go through,then get the rest funds sent to my shipping company via western union money transfer,please note that all western union charges should be deducted from the excess funds you're sending,not with your own personal money.sorry to bother you for this,i would've loved my younger brother to take care of everything,but he wont be available to take care of it because he'll be going back to school in 2 days time,(he's in a Law school and he wont be coming back home until the ending of June).
The shippers will come over to your location for the pick up of the item as soon as they
receive their payment via western union,please ensure you get back to me as soon as you
can if everything is ok by you.I promise you that you wont regret doing business with
me.Talk to you later.You can start calling me on this phone # as from
tommorrow....+447045732804 I'll always reply your emails whenever you send me mails
because i have my labtop with me.So email me the following info if everything is ok by you,
(1)Name to be written on the check.......................
(2)Your contact home address (including zip code)......................
(3)Home & Cell phone number....................

ha was wondering the same thing
Thanks for the mail,i'm really interested in purchasing the Mercedes as soon as i can,i am an engineer,i work for Julius Berger i'll be travelling to England for a conference meeting later tommorrow night,but i think i should be back in few weeks time,i really want the Mercedes , to be available in my compound before i get back from England,concerning the payment,i'll instruct my younger brother to send out a cashier's check in your names and it'll be sent to your address,so when i spoke with my shipping company on the phone some few minutes ago,they made me realised that i send their payment together with the payment i'm sending to you,sending them a different check'll take about 30 days for a United states check to clear in Greece where their head office is located at,and they would also be shipping some goods for me from Japan to my house in FL,their main head office is located at Greece,they'll take care of everything in my absence,because this is not the first time they're working for me,they're best shipping company,they always take care of my personal goods. So i 'll instruct my brother to send you a payment in form of a Cashier's check on the amount of $5,000 so when you receive it,you'll deduct your payment which is $2,700 deduct another $50 for compensation of the stress you may go through,then get the rest funds sent to my shipping company via western union money transfer,please note that all western union charges should be deducted from the excess funds you're sending,not with your own personal money.sorry to bother you for this,i would've loved my younger brother to take care of everything,but he wont be available to take care of that because he'll be going back to school in 2 days time,(he's in a Law school and he wont be coming back home until theending of this month). The shippers will come over to your location for the pick up of the item as soon as they receive their payment via western union,please ensure you get back to me as soon as you can if everything is ok by you.I promise you that you wont regret doing business with me.Talk to you later.You can start calling me on this phone # as from tommorrow.... +447045732804 I'll always reply your emails whenever you send me mails as i have my laptop with me.So email me the following info if everything is ok by you,
(1)Name to be written on the check.......................
(2)Your contact home address (including zip code)......................
(3)Home & Cell phone number....................
Take care and have a nice
day.
Best Regards,
Paul
N.B,
The reason why the shipper's fees are a little bit high is because they would also be shipping some goods for me from Japan to my house in FL,so i'm paying them together with your funds thats why i want you to kindly help me out,so get back to me with the required information if everything sounds good to you.the check will get to you early next week.

Default It's a scam


Hi, this has to be a scam. My husband and I are trying to sell his motorcycle and we just got the exact same message! I was trying to confirm it before I let my husband do anything more about it, but here was the message we got. I felt uneasy about the message because the person had no personality and they did not leave thier name.. only an adress...
This is the email we got....

So, yes I do believe it to be a scam. Thanks for your help too, your message confirmed it for me \
