If it's too good to be true.......

I recently went onto gumtree because I'm in the market for a new Defender. I saw an ad for a 2008 defender 110 Puma with 91 000 km now these sell for about R200 - R250 000.

This one was selling for R100 000. I enquired and this was her reply:

 

Hello,

My name is Lucy Hennings, I am emailing you regarding the car that I have for sale. It is in perfect condition, with no need for additional repairs. The reason why I am selling it is because i recently divorced and i want to get rid ot it asap. As you saw the price is very good, only R100.000.

Thank you,

Lucy

 

I then said 'Can we meet I have the funds available' and she said:

 

Hello again,

I`m located in Upington (but as I told you in my previous email I am out of town) because of the divorce i had to move here. I would like to complete the transaction by PayPal and using this service you will get a 7 days testing period after the delivery takes place . During the 7 days testing period I will not be getting any money. I need to know if you are interested in buying it so I can ask PayPal to send you the details on how this works. If interested please include in your next email your contact info ( name, address and phone # ) so we can get things rolling.

Reply asap.

 

Thanks

I went back to the ad, It's deleted I asked her why , she said:

 

 

I took the advert off the website because an unreliable buyer asked me to do so as he was going to buy my car.

 

Thank you,

Lucy

Paypal does not offer any kind of buyer protection. Be careful.
