It may or maynot be a scam, why do you think its a scam???

It's a scam , 100%.

OP, can you edit your post to remove the hot-links (blue text underlined) and personal details of the sender.

Definately a scam. When I was selling my son's car, I got roughly 5 emails like this from England. Took me a while to cop on (too anxious to sell)

Why not answer it without giving any personal info ........ at least for the crack !!

Why would someone buy and Irish car when they are cheaper in the UK and theres vastly more choice of better spec'ed cars. Answer, they wouldn't.

I also got a similar responce from from "Alan" to an advert. I sent an e-mail back saying I forgot to mention the car was burning oil and was making some funny noises when started , and dosent look to bad after the crash repairs and was he still interested. He said that was a minor problem and to SEND the detail requested. Kept it going untill he gave up replying.

Alan

Can you also include
credit card details
bank details
mothere maiden name
and sure blood type for luck.

In fairness these guys are only doing because they are more than likely catching people out.

If it looks to good to be true it is.

Good luck selling the car to a legit buyer.

I put two old bikes in the Buy and Sell - free to take away. I got mails from a guy in the UK saying a courier would collect them and how much was I looking for and details so his dad could pay me. Told him the bikes were free - still interested. Definitely a scam.
