Hello Seller,
I surfed through your listings and after some
certain considerations,i'll like to know some details
about the car and if you're interested in selling,kindly get back
to me with the below details below...
1. What is the present condition of the Car ??
2. Are you the real Owner ??
3. What is your selling price only without shipping
fee ??
4. Can i arrange for my private picker? since
i wont be paying for the shipping ?
5. Can you accept the means of cashiers check ?? Note
that you are to have the check deposited in your bank
for at least 3 to 5 days and as soon as the check
clears,i'll be calling upon my private picker to
have the Car picked up at your residence.
If accepted,i'll want you to get back to me with the
requested details asap
I await your response,
Thanks
Candy.
Soon Mr. Gamba Chemwapuwa the prince of the King of Zimbabwe who due to a political over throw is now a political refugee and needs to leave the country soon, will contact you because he needs your assistance to transfer some funds out of the country and he will give you 30% of 5 million if you provide him with your account number and banking information to transfer the funds into your name!!!
same kinda thing when my girlfriend posted her civic on kijiji.
guy saying he wanted to buy her POS, rusted to shit, 1991 automatic 4-door bone stock $1000 civic and ship it to him…in FRANCE…
she didn’t even realize it was a scam (it was the first thing she’d ever posted for sale online), thank god i read it over her shoulder one day and stopped her before she had sent him anything important.
I don’t get what’s goin on here?
He wants to send you a cashiers check?
Tell him to mail it to your address and if it clears when you cash it, the car is his and his “picker” or whatever can come pick it up.
He’s not asking for any info other than ur mailing address right?
yeah true^ but i had this about two months ago and they did this and wanted a chair sent to him in england sent me a cashiers check for 1300 and the chair cost 300 so he then wanted me to send his “picker” to come get it bank said good check old man said you sure lady checked over again and it was a fake we would have had to pay the money and been charged for making a scam
