So, I thought that I would have some fun...

Been looking at cars trying to find something decent to put the wife in. I've also been looking in autotrader and al.com sites. I ran upon several in al.com that are way too wonderful to be true. Well, of course they are. It's called Internet fraud.

So, I wrote on two cars at the same time. I am posting the emails because I know it is fraud. Teh first I answered and even got a reply.

Here's the first.

So I get this email back...

Hello,

My name is Paul Williams and i want to say Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm in Hartpool (United

Kingdom) right now and I have been very busy.Anyway,thank you for your interest in buying the car. The car

is located in US right now and has US papers.Why is the price so low? im selling the car at this price

because i recently moved from US to United Kingdom with my wife who is from here and we intend to marry in

United Kingdom and i sold my house over US and everything owned by me and the only thing to sell is the

car .I cannot register the car here, as it is made for USA, according to USA standards. So all that I want

to do now is to sell the car at this price, because I need to sell it fast.The title is clean and you will

have absolutely no problems to register the car in the States. I will tell you a few words about the car..

My 2002 BMW 330 CI with automatic transmission it is in imaculate condition with 55984 miles and have the

Vin number: WBABS53442JU90824,rust free , no schrach and hasn't been involved in any accident. The motor

runs very well.The interior looks great.This car needs nothing,The title is clear ,it is not a salvage

one.I want this transaction to go smoothly enough as I am caught in the middle of some very important

events and have little time at my disposal. The car is like new, in perfect conditions,accident free, no

scratches, no special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever. a genuine road runner ready to

be yours, but only if you shall understand and you won't make me loose time as it has already happened to

me.The price is 3,300 USD $ THIS IS MY LAST PRICE.I will not negociate the price.I take in consideration

only those buyers who are really interesed in buying the car ,to be sure that I don't waist my time with

endless discussions.This way,I shall be assured of the serious intentions.So if you are interested please

email me back.

Regards!!

Paul

It appears that the price of $2900 for this car is confirmed via the al.com



website. I would like to know what is wrong with the car to make the price so



low. Let me know where I can see and test drive this car. I will pay cash.

Hope you enjoyed...

So two different guys selling two different cars, both just happen to be from Hartpool UK and neither can spell schrach and it you assume it has to be fraud? Why do you not trust?
