WARNING

Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2003 2:23 am

If you have a car for sale, advertised on the web or in the press, you may get an email from a variety of sources expressing interest, and saying that the sender is interested in buying your car & shipping it to West Africa.

This is the text of the mail, (it may vary a little from time to time)............

Concerning payment,a client of mine in the UK will be paying
for the car on my behalf. He owes me 4000 pounds and wants to pay me
via a UK certified cheque .

I will instruct him to send the cheque to you. As soon as you receive
the funds for the payment of the car, you will wire the balance to my
shipper/freight agent. He will use the funds to arrange for the pick up
of the car from your location and also pay for the insurance.

I will need your name and address as it should appear on the cheque.
I will also need your phone number so I can call you from time to
time.............

IF you get one of these mails IGNORE IT. It is a scam & is under Police investigation.

This post is placed in each of the forums to ensure maximum coverage.
