OK Guys, ATTENTION TUT!

Had this chap email me today to buy the Evora. We are all long enough in the tooth to spot a scammer a mile off, but lets have a bit of sport with this chap!

His email:

Hey Paul,
Thanks for sending me more information about the car and i I will be
very glad to have more picture i also want you to delete the advert
from the site because i am serious about buying from you... It was
really of immense help. I am glad to know that the car is of a good
mechanical condition and has not had any accident in the past. Your
sincerity is something I see very necessary to appreciate. Thanks a
lot.
I have actually tried to get this car here earlier from here but most
of the ones I got either have one huge mechanical fault or the other
and some have even had accidents in the past while some are extremely
exorbitant. I could have come and inspect the car and then pay you in
cash,but i can't due to the nature of my work.I am a deployed soldier
and a staff sergeant and am right now at the camp Paul...
As to the price, I am okay with it , I will be very glad to make the
payment asap through my PayPal account as I am in camp and can only
pay you via PayPal and i hope you understand Paul..
As to shipping, you need not worry yourself about that as I will
contact a shipping agent that will handle the pick up and
shipping.Please note that i will not be needing the vehicle
registration because it will be invalid over there so please remove
the registration.. I will however be needing your contact address to
be able to get the shipping quote from the shipping agent....
Do get back to me asap with your PayPal Email address and Full name so
that I can remit the payment asap.

Cheers,

Steven.


As its a snowy evening, and we all have a bit of time, how should I reply!! Tut, this is right up your street!!

Alternatively I could post his email address up, and we could all wind him up and offer to sell him cars! Would need one of the mods to give me permission first!

Happy to take over Paul as I have plenty of time and have done it before.

As you say, could be a good laugh, but will see what the Mods think.

Thought about this as first dibs..............

Hi Steven, thanks for the email.

Funnily enough I have a security involvement with the Military as well (WRI, SWAT ) so if you give me more details of who you are, which regiment, and where you are stationed I will be happy to email you via our more secure channels!

Don't worry about shipping agents, we can ship a car anywhere in the world, even Nigeria, so if you would prefer a Toyota pickup let me know!

I look forward to your reply!

Can't see why the Mods would mind - have fun and good luck.
