Hello ,
Thanks for the quick response. The condition and the asking price is okay by me for £1700. I will instruct my client to make out payment through a certified bank cheque and hopefully it will be okay by you for your payment, shipping fees will be include on the payment that will be send to you, which you will send the shipping fees to the shipper as soon as you receive the payment cuz the item need to be shipped to my client location cuz i dont want to bother you with the shippment. I will not have the time for inspection due to the nature of my work.If this arrangement is okay by you,kindly get back to me with th details below for the urgent completion of the transaction

* Your full name (as it will appears on the cheque)

* Your contact/mailing receiving address>

* Your private mobile/home phone number
Your payment will be issued immediately upon the receipt of the request information's. Hope this is cleared and well understood? Your swift response reg arding the sale will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Morgan

Hi there thanks for your email, yes its still available. It went through MOT with no problems, no advisorys were shown. I work in the motor trade and keep it in top conditon. The last asking price would be 1700 as i have just put it through a service myself and taxed it at beginning of the month. Find attatched some pics

well thats why i was making sure, i havent given any of my bank details, just my name address and mobile number. It does eem to go to be true. But tbh honest if i get a cheque for 1700 and havent released the car, wait for it to clear, would that be a safe option?? I have never come across anything like this before that why im questioning it

would it be possible to give him a P.O. Box as an address? that way you wouldn't risk theft.
also, as long as the money comes in, then you're fine. just make sure that you don't proceed with shipping before all funds come in

Leave it.

Definate scam. Him giving you the 'agents fees' to pass on is a definate sign.

What happens is you pass over the 'agent fees' then the cheque bounces or sumat and your left out of pocket.
