Selling and Buying Cars through QL

Dear QL members and mods,

Off late in the past few days there has been a lot of posting on cars with low mileage and cheap amount. like a honda civic 2008 model with 24000 mileage at 19000 QR (just an example). and when you try to contact the number, its not reachable or the number does not exist. then the next option is email. once you mail the person the picture of phishing or scam comes in front of you. I love to track phishers and scammers and take them for a ride, i followed this guy who had put a post for a Honda civic and he says he is from UK and will ship the car to doha.

please find our mail exchanges and please please dont fall in the trap of scammers. also requesting the MODS if we can take any preventive measure or checks for these kind of posts. even hoping that MOI or ISP's can do something here.
-------------
please find the mails - you will have to read from below...

Dear John,

do you have any other cars also or only the civic. actually i' looking for a SUV, but since i saw the price of the car and being sparingly used, i thought of settling in this Civic.

please let me know how i can get in touch with the company.

Hello,

Due to the fact I am quite busy I found out a company which will help me to sell the car easily.
They will handle shipping, payment and everything else. I will pay all taxes for shipping.
You will have 3 days for inspect the car.Let me explain you how does the shipping company works. First I will get the car to the shipping company. When they will have the car in their custody(I will give you a tracking number so you can track the shipping process at any time) you have to transfer 50% from the car value to them (the shipping company will inform you how to make the payment). After the transfer is done the shipping company will put the money secure and they will continue the shipping. After you will receive and inspect the car (3 days) you will have to inform the shipping company if you want or not the car. In case you will keep the car you'll have to pay the rest of the money to the shipping company,in case you will not keep the car the shipping company will pay you back the money.

If you are interested get back to me and provide me the following details so I can make the shipping documents:

Name:
Address:
City:

Hello,

The car is in excellent condition, no damage, never involved in any accidents, no scratches, garage kept. It is working properly.I am the first owner of the car. I am from London , United Kingdom. I have a company here in United Kingdom and I've made businesses on Qatar and this car was used only for driving in Qatar where I've had some stores. Here in London I have a car with the steering weel on the right side so I do not use the car here. The car is registered in Qatar , I didn't registered in United Kingdom and all the papers are ok. Now I closed the stores from Qatar and I do not need anymore the car so for the sale it goes.The car will be shipped by a company from United Kingdom to your country. I will pay for shipping and insurance so you don't have to worry for more expences. The car will arrive to you in about 2-3 days and you will have 3 days to inspect it before take the decision to buy it or not.

If you need any further information please feel free to contact me.
