    Online Car sales scam

    This email came via an online car sale advert for my D3. Sounds like a great deal but his spelling is atrocious! How did he get through law school?

    Mind you he can't be short of a quid, given he's willing to travel from the UK to Brisbane for a test drive.

    I would like to test drive this car? 246 Stanley Road, Town Centre, Bootle, L20 3GG United Kingdom. I work with a reputable law firm in the United Kingdom & I got your contact through Public Sector Information. I have the possibility to present you as a beneficiary to my late client a national of your country whom I owe a legal obligation. Though you are not related to him, I will be able to work out modalities for transferring his funds under my custody still deposited in a financial institution in your name as beneficiary so all heredity may be in your favor. If you can stand as beneficiary, I will pronounce you as the legal beneficiary & process change of ownership status to enable the funds & estates be transferred to your name. In this case, I will have to come into a direct arrangement & split the funds when released to you on a fifty fifty basis. The detailed total amount in deposit cannot be stated in this email until you will provide a more direct means of communicating by either fax or phone so we can be sure to go into the clients arrangement. I want to insist that I transact with you directly, so do provide your number & I shall call you immediately I receive your response & provide you with the details. I expect you to indicate your interest in going further. Kindly copy all your response to my private email [email address removed] Sincerely, Ian Wright.
