[928uk] For those selling their 928, be aware of scams !

[Frank Al-mukhtar]

Hi All

I keep getting some guy offering me the same deal with my 928 (Read Below)
which is why I've taken it off the site for now. He is assuming that the
cheque is on it's way.
I'm telling him otherwise, but he's being annoying.

Any suggestions guys!

advertised on a few websites. I got an email the other day from a gentlemen
asking whether I accept cheque as payment. I replied that I accept cheque
but that the car can only be collected upon clearance of the funds. He then
asked me for what kind of price I was willing to settle, and he asked my
home adress. He did not seem to be interested in viewing the car. I started
getting suspicious. This morning, I got an email insisting that he needed my
address, which I wasn't willing to give as yet, and explaining that his
agent in the UK would come and collect the car. He said that I basically
would get paid by one of his UK clients that still owe him money.The alarm
bells really started ringing !

It immediately returned scam warnings ! The website below is a list of
people with similar experiences.
