Nah, he's related to the millionaire in South Africa that simply wants to transfer all his money to the U.S. and is willing to give you 15% of it for doing so....ROFL!

Palm trees in london.

I think Sharky and any other Brits here (myself included) can testify to the actual lack of any palm trees lining the streets in london.

It's so funny that the moron "seller" would expect anyone to believe this.

We should take this guy for a ride and see how far he goes.

Gave him a reply that I wish to pay cash for the car I just need to see it first and that I live in the UK. No reply as of yet. Go figure.

SCAM ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me guess he wants you to send him a $3000 deposit Western Union. This has been a pretty common scam that has been going on for some time. I tried to buy a BMW M Coupe about a year ago and the same thing happened to me. The guy was in Greece. I told him I had family there that would come to see the car first. He kept dodging it and trying to get me to send money to him first. Then when I told him I couldnt do it till my family sold the car he started cusing at me in Greek. Once again theres a very simple philosophy, if it's to good to be true it probally is!

I always wondered why in these scams they where so angry, like I owed them the money for nothing. They like the victim role I guess.
