In QLD the owners have the option of selling the car with the personalised plates or keeping them for themselves and putting standard plates back on the car.
emailed again, still no reply.
Got hold of some numbers - no longer in service.
It can't be much of a scam if they are not returning emails.
They need to contact people if they want to take their money
I got a response email today!
The poor women, Loreeta, has a very sick daughter and she needs the money. A sick child is more important than a car isn't it?
So I told her I'm very interested and she just got back to me.
Apparently she is now in Adelaide with her daughter in hospital. But, luckily, she has arranged with a delivery company to ferry the car to wherever the buyer lives to allow an inspection and test drive before having the payments handled through the EBay payment system.
All I have to do now is send her my name and address so that she can arrange the delivery.
Somehow I don't think I'm going to be able to do that.
Too busy over Christmas of course!
YES YES ITS A SCAM
Would be last you would see of your money. GONE
Have see this one before . Nearly got caught myself
Email reply i got today;
'Hello there,
I appreciate that you contacted me. First let me say that the 1999 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER HSE is available for $7800.
It is in good condition,there's no scratches or any dents on it,very well maintained,please check the pictures, I have a clear title for it, no liens or loans. Never been in any accidents.
Rego will expire on Sept 2011 and has 111465km
The reason why I'm selling it so cheap (it`s real value is much higher) is because my 8 year old daughter is very sick and we need those money as soon as possible to pay her treatment,right now i don`t care about money,my daughter`s health comes first.....
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate ask.Where are you located?
Best Regards'
Sounds like BS
Forward it straight to the computer fraud squad in your state.
I found one on Gumtree and got in contact with the computer division herein Perth. By the time they got to the ad, it had been closed down and gone.
However they did know who it was!
Cheers
