This just seems so fishy to me that its got to be a scam. Tell me what you guys think.
I'm Selling my car locally and online and I recieved this letter from a guy who said his 'client' was interested. I gave him the stats and he has seen the pictures.
Here is the last 2 letters he sent me....
#1.
"Greetings.......
After forwarding your vehicle details to my client he has asked that you endeavour to consider the vehicle as sold now. I will be contacting him as soon as possible before he leaves the country to Brussels on a National assignment trip. He is a NATO official and represents Canada. The vehicle is meant to be shipped to Canada within three weeks due to the urgent use.He was also more concerned about the engine hopes its in good condition.
I will keep you posted on further arrangement and payment as well.
Regards,
Anthony"
