Problem Picking A Shonk?

[Marshall]

Hey boys,

Just want to get your ideas i am looking at getting a ute right, but the bloke said his split up with the mrs and he is now in UK. Now i have done a revs check on it and its all sweet but the thing is he wants a deposit of 35% from a $25.000 sale i know its like around 9g's. The question is he wants me to do it through western union money transfer i have the details and his name and i tried to ring the contact number his given me and its saying its disconnected so i emailed him and asked for another contact number, i just want your opinion guys on whether his legit or a shonk

let me here it!!!!

Mate, forget about it. You've not seen it in person??

It's a standard scam, they get the photos and VIN details off ebay/carsales and re advertise with the same pictures/details.

Transferring ANYTHING through western union is a scam.

It's a scam, my brothers mate was going to buy an rx7 and before he could take the car for a test drive he

had to transfer 1000 by western money transfer to the owner who was overseas

Aren't you glad you posted up your suspicions?

[evil_weevil]

I wonder if its a scam?

[mattymagoo22]

When I was purchasing my bike recently, a mate at a dealership did a 'vcheck' for me (he said it usually costs around $30 but I got it for nothing), apparently it checks that the vehcile has never been written off and it covers the whole of Australia, he also said to do a revs check to make sure theres no encumbrance and revs will only tell you if its been written off in NSW. So anyone thinking of buying a car keep that in mind.

[Gerg_R31]
