Hi Sony,
Thanks for the mail back with included details requested for,
If you were to leave the flux capacitor on,how much extra am I to
pay?However,due to the fact that I reside in Amsterdam,Netherlands,it might not
be possible for me to come see it myself.My shipping agent will do th pickup for
me in due time.
Although ,I will like to opt for an offer of 1800euros including the fitted
capacitor ,I intend maiking payment via irish bankers draft.If thats fine,let me
know.
Regards..Oliver martinez

Okay , now I'd like ramp this up to a nice Monty Python level of reality , without frightening him away, I'd really like to screw with this guy!

Stephen · 21-07-2004 12:51PM

see if you can get him to send you an "irish bankers draft" - the gardai seriously frown on faked bank drafts.

impr0v · 21-07-2004 12:58PM

Hey Oliver,
Thanks for the offer of 1800 euros, however with the flux capacitor attached, I cannot accept anything less than 2500. If you decide not to go with the capacitor, I will fit the original ectoplasm injectors back on to it, making it dimensional stable, and the price will then be 1950. Has your shipping agent got the necessary export licence to enable him to deal in stealth technology? I understand than Dutch import agents can be very particular about these issues.
An Irish bankers draft will be ok, though we usually accept payment via paypal.

Regard,
Sony Daly

I dunno... I would have thought mentioning the flux capacitor was chancing your arm somewhat, but mentioning ectoplasm imo is pushing it too far. The guy might realise it's a bit of a set up.

Personally I'd call it a proton injector. Sounds a bit more techie than ectoplasm.

Raskolnikov · 21-07-2004 01:10PM

Flux capacitor! I like it

Dude, you should try scamming the scammer! Ask him to have €100 deposited to your bank account first so you can pay off Ireland's new Vehicle Tax, tell him if he does this you can make the sale go through quicker and at the price of €1,800.

ThreadKiller · 21-07-2004 01:15PM

You could always fit an ejaculatory emissions receptor for him, not to mention the extra €150 for the velutinous wager device (fluffy dice)

Dancing_Priest · 21-07-2004 01:20PM

I really like the idea of getting some cash off of him , I'd give it to a decent cause as well!. I'd have to open another bank account though , there are ways and means of extracting cash from an account with just an account and sort number.
However he did pose as a dealer , so I might ask him to take the corolla as a trade in against something he has in stock , Im sure that the chance for a free car and a couple of grand would oil the cogs of stupidity nicely!

Dancing_Priest · 21-07-2004 01:34PM

This is what I sent:

Hey
I dont know If you would be able to do this, but since you are a car dealer you might be able to help me. I'm selling my car since I got my new job and a nice pay raise. Now I've been looking for a bigger car , something like a 1998 BMW 3 series or a Mercedes.
I have about €15,000 to spend, but I cant seem to find a good car around here for that money. Since the economic boom all the dirty rotten car dealers have put up the prices of their cars so high that the high king himself couldnt afford one (and Bertie is a very rich man) . So the only car I could get for €15000 here would have been used by some mucksavageen for pulling cows out of ditches! Is there any chance that you would have a car like that in stock at that price? if I were to trade my corolla (with flux capacitor) against one of your cars , do you think you could give me a little extra for my car?

Ya feckin amadan

Every car needs a flux capacitor.

Get really creative with the "ACCESORIES"

Sarky · 21-07-2004 01:41PM

Voice activated M&M dispenser. And don't forget the speed holes, they make the car go faster.

Doc · 21-07-2004 01:51PM

Just wondering how exactly is he scamming you? I may be a bit dumb here but he hasn’t actually asked you for anything yet except to buy the car so how will he try and scam you?

Dancing_Priest · 21-07-2004 01:54PM

he will either send me a phony cheque/ draft or get my acc number and use the banks pure laziness to initiate a direct debit from my account into a company account with a forged signature that the bank probably wont bother to even check.

you should post this on the humor board this is classic....

dogz · 21-07-2004 03:31PM

when he replies and says he has a car, get him to send a pic then tell him that vrt has to be paid by the seller (him) and he needs to send a cheque for 500 to the car import federation and make it payable to u or a m8. and cash it if it arrives then get a bank draught for some made up export charge and when this arrives give it to the guards and wach him get done

Dancing_Priest · 21-07-2004 03:42PM

Things are moving swiftly , he's getting into the cash now. Looks like he's expecting greed to help him get the better of me :rolleyes:

His message is as follows:

Goodday Sony,
Thanks for the mail back to me.
Prior to my last mail concerning buying your car, my client in Ireland is oweing me 5500euros
of which I will instruct him to issue you the
bankers draft on my behalf,you would then cash the
money from the draft and collect how much we bought
the car and the remaining balance would
be sent
to my shipping agent via western union money
transfer in order to start arranging shippment of
the items down to its destination.
If these would be okay by you,kindly get back to me.
kind regards..
oliver martinez

Dancing_Priest · 21-07-2004 03:48PM

And my reply goes as follows, I'm curious to see what he thinks of the introduction of my lawyer, hope he takes up on the chance for 15k though , that will open some very entertaining avenues! now I just hope that my new BMW has one of those proton drives with the leather pack....

Howdy
I do not fully understand what you want me to do. Will I take the draft from your accociate , keep my money and send the rest to you? I will ask my lawyer if there are any big tax issues in doing this. because I dont want you to get the E-JIT tax for exporting a deisel car out of the Republic. I
Also, do you have a car fitting my description in your stock? I would like to sell the car and buy my new one in a single transaction for tax reasons. If this does not trouble you I could send your asking price for your car along with the other money. I have €15,000 to spend if you have a car fitting my description.

I think we all have to pay that to the government

Verdammt · 21-07-2004 05:08PM

I had a couple of emails from this guy before. They sort of faded out for some reason. It's very hard to bait these guy's, they know all the in's and out's of the buisiness.

Deadwing · 21-07-2004 05:08PM

Dear oliver,
Furthermore to our business deal, i was wondering if you have any jobs available in your car showroom? Ive got some problems here because of a few...deals...i took part in, and need to leave the country as soon as i can. This guy came in, he doesnt know if he wants to buy or what..so i grabbed his head, shoved it right in the f*ckin hood, and said "You buy this car, or ill break your f*ckin head". I got problems here ever since. Anyway, let me know if youre hiring.
Regards,

Sony P. station.

neXus9 · 21-07-2004 05:37PM

It seems to be that a lot of these scammers are from Amsterdam.

amp · 21-07-2004 05:56PM

Great thread. Marvelous use of flux capacitors. I wonder could you work in some headlamp fluid and the famous Toyota skyhook braking system

I thought that you could only get flux capacitor's in Deloreans.. and they were for time travel not speed..

it was only in Deloreans only because if your going to build a time machine into a car, ya might as well do it with style. thats not to say it cant be installed in any other car, in this case a Toyota Corolla. the only thing that would worry me about using the flux capacitor is that the Toyota doesnt have a stainless steel body. Which the doc says helps with the whole time travel ma-jiggy.

Aha! , I have a scammer baited , Finally!
