This is a scam if I'm correct

[maviczap]

Right, my wife is trying to sell her Dad's almost brand new car. Sadly he passed away in July and her mum doesn't drive

Only one snippet of interest so far. See the correspondance from Jeff Dave or Dave Jeff below. Ive removed my wife's email address.

So who is his agent? Got to be a scammer

My last price would be £7500. I'm selling it for my mum who doesn't drive, it was my dad's car but he died in july and so mum needs to sell it.

Thanks for your enquiry.

walk away and ignore emails from this type-if you entertain them hell mend you for getting stung, there's more than enough info telling folk to ignore these cons-if you want the car sold quick go speak to a dealer and see what he'll give you or stick it on ebay with your reserve-only cost you 30 quid

Yep, agreed, she had no intention of responding

On the other hand I feel like sending him a ficitious address & telephone number

its really sick how much of this goes on-recently had an old dear conned out of 8 grand for a back garden job worth about 50 quid,and a guy ended up losing his life savings because some conman from nigeria had him buy travellers cheques for a fraction of the price but they turned out to be fake-he sent him real ones the first couple of times then stung him for his savings and sent the fakes-its sad.
