my guess is that theres a 1 missing from in front of the 5,000


the add seems genuine enough, just looks like a typo to me

Bid on it, Ebay will soon retract your bid if it is hooky and the account is hacked. They did it twice to me on items I was bidding on so they do keep an eye on stuff. If it is cosher and you win it then pay for it in person you never know you may just get yourself a bargain from some muppet who does not need the money.

The owner says that he has a cheque from the Bankrupt Company of £1million - the car came with the stock - can he use my Bank Account to channel the funds into the UK.

Sounds good to me, he is offering me 10% - £100,000 - just to use my account ...... and, get this, he will let me keep the Impreza he is using to drive over to the UK!! AS he is just passing through and won't need it once the funds have cleared!

Just sent him my Banking details, he says he can access the funds through Western Union .... I have agreed to cover his transfer costs of £10,000 (1% Handling Fee).

Look forward to the £100,000 AND a nice Impreza thrown in!! WhooooHooooo!! Lucky day, or what??

Pete
