    Saw an add on done deal the other day for a car which i enquired about. Below is the email I received back.

    I'm fairly sure it's a scam or some sort just wondering how it works.


    Hi
    Thanks for your e-mail! Here are my car docs.
    As I allready explained , I live in USA and I will go to Liverpool only for this deal.
    I could meet you there next weekend, if that is ok for you too, but I have to be sure that you are serious, because I have a long way ...from USA to UK .
    So here are my conditions:
    I won't ask for any money in advance, but you must reserve the car and I will come only if you are decided to buy it .And as a warranty that you really want to buy the car and that you have the money (in cash) for the car, I require that you arrange a payed deposit on your name , for the price of the car ( 4500 euro). Regarding the deposit, there is a service very fast and easy to use, named Western Union. It is used for sending cash money . All that you have to do is to ask a friend or family to go to Western Union with the cash and to send it to Liverpool, to your name as receiver.
    Your friend will be the sender and you will be the receiver in Liverpool.
    (I ask you to do this because I want to be 100 % sure that you will be there and you will be ready to buy it because last week I went to Liverpool for nothing. A man from Dublin told me that he wants to meet me and buy it , so I went to Liverpool, but he never came and never answered to my emails .)
    After you make the transfer, I want you to send me an email with the scan of the receipt , so I can check with Western Union and if the transfer is ok, I will come to Liverpool to close the deal.
    You will verify the documents and test the car and we will make the sale documents. Then we will go to a Western Union office, you will take the money and pay me.
    PS: I told you that someone else must be the sender, not you, because some Western Union offices do not give you the money if the receiver is also sender.
    Regarding the transfer fees, you will deduce them from the total amount,So that you won't pay nothing more ,just the price that we agreed ( for example 4350 euro+ fees 150 euro= 4500).
    This transfer is also good for you because you avoid the risk of a traveling with the money in pocket.
    Let me know if this is OK with you as soon as possible , let me know if I should reserve the car for you.

    Kind Regards,
