is it the scam or time passing ?
I saw an advertisment in QL .There was an add selling luxury car with low price .I responded the ad thru mail .
This is the response i received :
" I'm writing you regarding the car is like new,in perfect condition ,no scratches,no damage,never involved in any accidents, the engine works perfectly, it has the service book and all papers.Is not leasing. The car is qatar specs.I have attach car photos.Price is 30000 QR cash.
I must tell you,i just moved with my family in London,United Kingdom and the car is in Qatar in my home garage(i have also a house for sale ).
I can not drive the car here in UK because the steering wheel on the left side.So I bought another car with the wheel on the right side and i didn`t pay all the amount That`s why i decide to sell this car so cheap. I need money to pay my other car before i`ll start to pay extra taxes.
I have nobody in Qatar that could show you the car. I need to come personal to meet you and present the car.So please let me know if you are really interested to buy the car.Please don't spend my time with endless disscutions,or pure curiosity "
I then responded to the mail and the receiver asked me
to bank in the money thru Western Union under my friend's
name and he wanted the receipt as a proof .I did exactly what he said .The next day he came with a story saying that someone wanted to buy his car with higher price .
He then instructed me to bank in more money ,more than
the price he offered .I refused his offer .
He then ignored all my mail and my msg .
When u see a add in QL selling luxury car with low price,
beware ! he will give a wrong phone number and wanted you
to contact him thru mail .There has been many add like this and when response thru his mail , the same story line i received thru my mail.
I don't know where is the catch or is it time passing ?
So guys please beware to all this scumbags !
QL Guidelines are very clear regarding this...i.e. DO NOT DEAL WITH ANY ONE NOT HAVING LOCAL CONTACT...
This is scammer from Nigeria, who have an agent for receiving money in UK through western union and once happened, western union doesn't take any responsibility of wrong delivery. And you will not be able to claim it.
You should go and check the car but he will not do it, as there is in fact no car and he just want to take your money and finish. You will not be able to contact him anymore.
Just be very very careful in transferring the money to the other country. Tell him to come here, give the car and take the money.
luckly i have canceled the western union transaction and got back my money because the receiver's name is my friend's name not the seller .
You are a bit too innocent for this world, indeed.
