Hello there,

Thank you for your interest in purchasing my car. First of all I
must inform you that currently I'm in London, England and I have
to let you know that the BMW car is here with me and it is in a
perfect condition. I am the first owner of the car. I bought it
directly from BMW factory from Germany. The car it has a clear title
which you will receive it with the car. It can be registered into
your name, so stay cool about this.

I have to tell you that I have other serious offers that I have to
consider and I will make a decision regarding this sale function or
time of payment and price. I want to tell you that I've choosed this
type of sale to escpape by the non-paying possible bidders.

The car is as new, with no scratches and it was never involved in any
accidents. The paint looks just as new, the car was always garaged. I
sell this amazing car because I want to buy in 2 weeks the new BMW 6
Series. As options, the car has all premium packages, premium sound,
bixenon headlights etc.

I bought the car with the intention to bring it back with me in the
US, but I will stay a longer time here and it is time to make a
change for my car. I ordered the car set up especially for the US
market. The car is US street legal, does not need any conversion and
it meets all DOT and EPA regulations. It has a miles odometer, etc.

This is the reason that I want to sell the car in USA because German
people do not like it prepared this way. The other offers that I have
are also from the US. The warranty is valid in USA and it is extended
international warranty for 5 years, from bumper to bumper.

The price I hope to obtain is USD 26,900 (this price includes the
shipping and insurance) and if you agree with this price we can start
to complete the transaction.

For payment I can offer you 2 possibilities:


1. The first payment method is by using a money
order service. I prefer money order because in this way I will ship
the BMW in the same day you make the payment. During the time I
learned that the best deals are closed when the risk involved is
minimum.

You will arrange payment through Western Union
(www.WesternUnion.com). In case you want to ship you the car right
now you have to make me a confirmation for 20% of the amount of money
(USD 5000) and after you receive and inspect the BMW you have to send
me the rest of the money.The inspection period for it is 10 days.

I have something safe for you because I want you to be sure that
you will receive the car and I hope we will collaborate in future
too.

Look what I can do for you:

- You will make the transfer to my location but not to my name (you
will use your best friends name for example as receiver's name) so
you can be sure that I will not pick up the money until you get the
car. So you make a deposit at Western Union and you will give me the
transfer's details (MTCN, SENDER'S NAME, RECEIVER'S NAME) so I can
check that the deposit was made. After I verify I will send you the
car immediately.

- Only after you will receive the car and check it if it ok you will
have to change the receiver's name of the transfer to my name so I
can collect my money. So until you will have the car in your hands
the money will be deposited on your best friend's name at Western
Union agent.

I think it is better to not inform Western Union that you will
change the receiver's name in a few days because it is possible they
ask you to pay the fees twice (fees that are quite big for such an
amount). When you will go to the Western Union office to wire the
money sometimes they ask you why are you doing that. If you will
tell them that they are for something you have bought, I will have to
pay when I pick up the money a very expensive tax for making
commerce. Please say you send the money to your friends or to your
partner.

Also, I can accept 2000$ through from the amount prior and in this
case I will take you as a serious and possible buyer and arrange a
further deal but in this case you have to come in person to the car's
location to see the car and take it back with you or you can send a
friend or agent that lives near by to inspect the car and pay the
rest of the money.

If you are agree with this method you can transfer the 2000$ from
your home using your credit card via phone calling 1-800 CALL CASH
service of Western Union that is a free of charge phone number and is
available 24 H a day.

After you've completed the transfer you will receive a confirmation
that will allow me to track the transfer. Here are the details that I
need:

- Sender's Name and address
- Receiver's name will be me
- Exact amount wired
- MTCN # (10 digits)
- If it is possible a scanned copy of the receipt format .JPEG for
me to add to the files

As soon as the payment will be confirmed and the money properly
sent, I will IMMEDIATELY proceed with shipping if you sent me the 20%
of the amount or I will hold the car for you if you've deposited only
2000$.

In case you've paid the 20% of money I will ship the car via
Lufthansa Airplane Cargo insured and it will take 72 hours until you
will have it at your door. The shipping is free. The shipping taxes
will cost arround USD 2600, but of course that I will cover them.

The 15% of payment are fully refundable if for any reason you do not
accept the car or if the car has scratches, hidden defects, or it is
not as advertised. I will even pay for the shipping back to my
location if you reject the car but since it is a state of the art BMW
and works and looks perfectly I think it would get to this.

Here is my name and address you need for the Western Union transfer:

First Name: Jeremy
Last Name: Henry
Address: 4 Adamson Road
City: London
Postal Code(ZIP): NW3 3HP
Country: England(UK)


2. The other way to make the payment would be by wire transfer. I have a friend who has an import-export company here in England. He can help me by letting me receive the funds in his US bank account. You will have to make a bank wire transfer from your bank account into my friend's bank account for USD 10,000 (about 35% of the total amount). Once the money will be there i will proceed with the shipping like described earlier. The inspection will be the same (10 days). In this case the fees you will have to pay will be lower but the process will be slower. I am comfortable with both possibilities.

If you agree with these terms,let me know and I will be more than
glad to start to complete the transaction with you.

Thank you and I hope that you will have the pleasure to drive this
car!


Kind regards,
Jeremy Henry

This type of scam has been popping up more and more. Send me money first then I will send you the "car".

iatacs19

hehe, sketchy.

QUIKAG

Wow!! Yeah, that sounds REAL legit. Scot, have you sent the money yet?

Dr. WOT

I actually know this guy. He lived in Kenya for a number of years and received a huge inheritance, but needed help getting the funds released....

TwoFourty

If I bid 26,500 and got it I would pay...


But, in person after taking a flight over there to meet him and then bring my car home myself. He may very well be legit, but you still don't want to put yourself in a bad situation like this.

My father was one of the General Managers of Lufthansa Cargo. Before this guy ships out the car he has to make a reservation. Tell him you would get the money order ready in 7 days and ask him to prepare for delivery process. I can have my father call to find out if he made a reservation for M3 shipment. Don't tell him you are going to check this. Just ask him couple days later what's the arrival date of the car.

One word: escrow.

Scot

well... i will send him $26,900 peso's instead of US $.

actually.... this is a total crock, and his auction got cancelled on ebay before anyone could get a bid in..... and the reason it got canceled most likely is because he replied (with that same replied) and someone (not me) turned him into ebay.....

I think his brother tried to buy my porsche... he was going to send me a cashiers check (fake) for $7000 too much, and just return the $7k to the shipper for shipping along with the car.... ahah... so i would only have been out my car plus $7k.... great deal!



I doubt that M3 guy even owns that car.... he probably just picked off a Vin # from a website!
