i have my datsun 1600 up for sale on gumtree...i recieved a text message asking if it was still for sale...if so could you please write back to my email address...so i did so.

whoever it was replied with this:
Hello,
Thanks for the swift reply, I am pleased with your price but I want you to get back to me with more pictures of it because i am presently in Malaysia on business trip and could not come over to check it out,but no worries as i am willing to handle the pick up of this vehicle through a legitimate shipping agent based in Malaysia, it will be picked up after payment, so i really need to know the mode of payment because i need this vehicle urgently. Hope to read from you asap.


this sounds dodgy to me as if they were only on a business trip, why would
they want it shipped to malaysia.
tell me what u think

Sounds like you have sold your car to me.

Yeah sounds like they are too late, You already sold it.

what u mean?...to me theres just something not quite right with it.

Sounds just like a scam that was written about on here (I think) a few months ago.
I think next he will want your bank details, and some money for the "transport company".

yeah thats what i was thinking...i think i read it too couldnt remember the specifics tho.

Thats why you already sold it.
They will then stop emailing you.

Yeah good plan.

yeah i typed the email address in google and it comes up with untrusted trading post user and other people theyve tried to scam

emial them back, and tell them you're the captin of a fright ship. and you're coming to malaysia next week. so you'll be able to deliver it free of charge! What a saving for them!

they will run a mile when you tell them that!
