What part of

' I am on an oil rig and I do not have internet access and I cannot speak on the phone as I lost my ears in a freak accident on black Friday fighting over a 146" TV . Fear not , I am kosher and I will send the car to you and if you are not happy I will refund the Western Union payment, honest '

did not set alarm bells ringing with the idiot buyer ? :?

Respect to the scammer. Idiots like this 'buyer' are the reason these blatant scams are still everywhere.

Greed and stupidity are dangerous bedfellows. The mong won't do it again ! :D

Yip, if you are going to take a massive risk to get an "impossible" deal...then you need to accept the consequences when that risk does not pay off...

Cost more than the 5k reward to catch the guy who did it, then again if someone was to split the reward with me then i would take the wrap, would even offer him a part refund lol Love these dumb suckers!
My Mrs works in a bank and sees quite a few of these council types, has warned a few of the dangers but theres always one idiot who says, "No its legit" only to be seen in the bank 2 days later in tears!

Doubt it's the council types as they be more street wise? I think it's the more naive and gullible who start ignoring the dangers when they feel they getting a bargain. I wonder how much he has parted with.. Surely he must have give a deposit of a few '000s rather than the full 15k :eek:

He must have been desperate for M3 ownership :?

Some crazy f**k must be sleeping on a mattress full of cash :cool:

Doubt the cops will investigate this case as it will come to a dead end. Western union transfers are non traceable, especially if the crook is in another country.
