Default Scamer Alert

I have been trying to sell my cobra and received this today. If this guy is a doctor you would think his letter would be better written . He butchered it and has no idea what kind of car it is. Maybe sombody else has received an offer from this guy. His e-mail address is "Willson Mor**" <willsonlukmor****@yah**.com>

Here is his letter.
Thanks for your response, meanwhile I believe first to
secure the vehicle through a deposit before any arrangement is to be
made. I am impressed with the property, I should love to call you
to discuss with you but am on a field assignment in new jessey
and would like to know the followings details concerning the
vehicle

1. What’s the bottom price of the property? Is the vehicle still on
it’s originally paint?
2. What major repairs has the vehicle undergone? How the vehicle has
been maintained.
3. Are you the original owner? Is the vehicle under insurance
policy?
4. When did you buy the vehicle and why do you want to sell it? Are
you a US citizen?
5. The property and the ownership are on whose name?
However, I would like to know your last price (non-
negotiable) from that of the net price for onward transaction,
if your price is ok then I can arrange for a deposit while my
agent will call you to arrange for the property inspection and
other necessary renovations if any will be taken care of by him.
Do get back to me immediately as I have limited time to conclude
this transaction.my offer is $42,000
Thanks and have a nice day.
I will not hesitate to tell you that i am currently in the Gulf where I am on active duty on a U.S Aircraft carrier as a Doctor. We have limited use of telephones for now because of the disruptions it causes on the communications radar on the ship so i get an opportunity to use the phone once in 3 or 4 days, we even take turns using the computers here on board. I would have been able to conclude arrangements please my client issur a check paymentas a personal cashier check.I have discussed with my wife concerning your property and after evaluation and due to fact that we are running short of time, we have agreed on your price with full interest. my agent will inform me,how two of you agree on wiring the remening balance alfter inspection the purpose of inspection is to confirm the vehicle ok and other nessesary peper work and tittle.

We have proposed making a deposit of ($10,000) to you for the hold of the property. A certified cashier’s check of ($15,000) has been mapped out, for both the down payment and the inspection of the property by our broker (agent)before concluding an arrengement on wiring the remaining balance through bank wire transfer or papal account after the inspection.... has been concluded.with you and my agent. all this have to be don to provide safty between both of us.

The reason why the payment should be in this form, is that the purchasing of the property is been sponsored by my In-law and his wife and also to show how serious we are to purchase your property. and full surport

So you are required to deduct the down holding payment which is ($10,000) and send the remaining balance of ($5,000) to the inspecting agent for his trip to the States for the property inspection and conclude other necessary arrengement and welfare before the final payment is been made out,i am very much glad if you understand the reason why this trasaction is been handle this way so the two parties will not have any problem why the trasaction is going on, the trasaction will take place immediately when you get the payment and deposit in to your account and send the balance to the agent,the inspection will commence as follows, So if this is okay with you kindly mail me back, because we are so much in love to purchese the vehicle,

So you don’t have to nuisance yourself about the inspection and final payment arrangement. evry arrangement should don in your present with my agent, Please confirm this and provide me with your “LEGAL NAME, full contact ADDRESS /NUMBER and phone/fax NUMBER” for check payment to be delivered direct to you via courier service. This is for security reason that am paying directly to you in person and for mutual communication between both parties in the future.
Please Confirm this and provide 1. LEGAL NAME IN FULL..........
2......CONTACT ADDRESS.............
3.PHONE NUMBER.................

For check payment to be delivered to you via FedEx courier

It's a common scam called a Nigerian Scam. As that's where the original purps were located years ago when this style of scam first surfaced. I get them all the time & just delete them.

Hey. He said he'll pay the balance through a "papal" account. That's the Vatican man!
What can go wrong?

Actually, the letter may have been written by my HMO MD, who has assured me that I am of sound mind and body.

I email all offers, include the lottery winning, commissions for bank transfers and all other Great Deals to President Bush and my Sentor. I told them they could collect all the money and apply it to the national debt. If everyone would do this we could be debt free in a year.

I did this for 5 or 6 months and I'm not getting as many offers as before.
