is this a scam?

[richi17]

I recieved this email about enquiring about an advert on a website, does this seem like a scam? and what do i need to find out if it is not a scam?

thanks



"Hi,

The 2005 Seat Ibiza 1.4 Sport 16V 5dr Hatchback is still for sale. A great car, never implied in any accident, in excellent condition with full service history. My job put me on the way to England and I purchased this car there. Now I have to sell it as I've got back home in Switzerland. The car is here as well. The final price is £2.500 + shipping to your door. For an accurate shipping cost please include your shipping address in your next email.

As you probably noticed, the price is rather low. But since it's a right hand drive car, not even a dealer will offer me a better price here. The fact that it's still UK registered did not help either.

I am the registered keeper and there is no outstanding finance on the vehicle. The car is in excellent condition, the bodywork is immaculate, no scratches, dents or hidden defects as well as the interior in excellent non-smoking condition.

Due to amount involved and due the fact I am not located in United Kingdom, I only accept third party transaction mediator. All documents, including V5 log book on your name will be provided along with the car.

Please email me soon if you want to move forward and let me know if you need anything else.

All the best!"

I haven't encountered something like this before, but it sounds like a scam to me. Do you remember inquiring about the car anywhere like in a car forum?

Spam has frustrated, confused, and annoyed e-mail users. Laws against spam have been sporadically implemented, with some being opt-out and others requiring opt in e-mail. The total volume of spam (over 100 billion emails per day as of April 2008) has leveled off slightly in recent years, and is no longer growing exponentially.

Sneak in & outThe big news of the day is that President Bush made his second surprise visit to Baghdad... he flew in and out. ...He did sneak in. It worked so well that they now have a secret plan to sneak a guy in and out of Condoleezza Rice.
