Another Auto trader scam!



Hello,
Thanks for the swift response and am also excited to hear from you the vehicle is still available for sale.Since all the details you put on the advert are updated and real,i think there is nothing to worry about and also i want you to know that i won't be able to come for the inspection of the vehicle as am a very busy man here in Denmark.
I will make you an offer of £3400 which I think is fair enough for the vehicle because i know the worth of the vehicle and more so what you’ve stated about the vehicle details in the advert page and the maintenance of the vehicle you’ve spent so far since you bought it.

I will take care of the shipment I had already consulted a private shipping company who’s going to handle it professionally for me both the shipping cost and other necessary activities concerning the shipment of the vehicle.My preferred method of payment is by bankers draft or Cheque in a (GBP) that’s the 2 options and safest way for me to transfer CASH which am going to instruct my business associate to post you a bankers draft via post office.

Also an excess amount will be on the cheque which you will send to the shipper to use for the shipping arrangement when the money is fully cleared in your account.

I want to you to know that i will only take the possession of the vehicle once the bankers draft has cleared in your account within 3 to
5 working days so you have nothing to worry about.Hopefully to hear back from you today in order to proceed further with the payment and shipping arrangements as soon as possible.
The details that will be needed to issue the payment out to you are as follow:

FULL NAME:

POSTAL ADDRESS:

PHONE NUMBER(S):

I did not request for your bank details.
Once you receive the draft you are to deposit it into your bank account and once it has cleared in your account we can finalize the deal as soon as possible.
I will be waiting to read from you soon if you are fully satisfied with this arrangement so that i can send the payment out to you in order to wrap everything up in a timely fashion.
I look forward to hear back from you today.
Cheers.
Nicholas Barrett.
Copenhagen,Denmark.
