Reckless

i know this shouldnt be in this part of the forum but i thought it would be viewed more !

i recently advertised my car on the auto trader web site then recieved a email froma guy asking me send him more details of the car and spec , so obviously i reply with pics and so on .

i then recieve this email from a guy called rowland sturb from oslo !

Thank you very much for your quick response..I want to use this medium to infrom you that i am a far buyer and i wont be able to view the car in person but i am ready to make an immediate purchase of the 1999 Subaru Impreza cos i am satisfied with its present state and condition and also from the pictures , i believe in good faith that she is in good condition.

Secondly, payment ( A UK CERTIFIED BANKER'S DRAFT) will be mailed to you via 1st class post in a couple of days if we come to a solid agreement.I have made arrangement for the pick-up and shippment, so i would like you to prepare the log-book and the dvla/v5 papers for me so that once the payment has cleared at your bank then i can have the car shipped from your residence to me directly.

I have sealed arrangements with a shipping company over here in Oslo
prior to this time to handle the shippment for me cos they have an
agent over there in the u.k who can carry out all the paperwork for me
so please inform all other prospective clients that an offer has been
placed on the car.
I am a used car dealer with my own private garage and showroom here
in Norway , and have a client over there in the U.k who owes me money
from business purchases with my showroom which i would like to use to
purchase this car.The only constraint is that sum owed me is more than
price of your car. Please,could you deduct price of car (£5,000) from sum ?and send the difference to my shipping agent in the U.K who will
be on standby to come and do the pick up on my behalf.

The total amount on the draft would be £10,000.,i would like you to
get back to me so payment can be made out to you and i can call you up so tha we could both fix a date for pick-up and all documentations when the draft is received. Please make sure you get in touch with me as soon as you get this message ..

Hope to hear from you soon

Roland..


N.B. I have stated the name,address and email address and mobile number of my client in the United Kingdom ,feel free to get in touch with him anytime.
NAME OF AGENT:-MR .FREDRICK JAMES.
ADDRESS:-13 Dovetons Drive ,Williton Taunton , Somerset Ta4 4st .
