Vetplant Posted August 28, 2019 Share Recently sold an item where the buyer started off comms by stating he is on an oil rig and.... Then he said he was just pulling my leg and that he is also at the same bank as me, he totally understands that I have to wait for the money to clear. Quickest I have gone from despair to delight in a long time, actually laughed out loud. He got me good.

Super Sywurm Posted August 29, 2019 Share This is an email I received when I inquired about a car that was advertised on FB (I thought the ad was to good to be true): Hi, I'm contacting regarding my car. The car is still available and in excellent condition. I'm from France. I lived and worked in South Africa for one year as Medical assistant for the Red Cross International but presently; I’m in republic of Togo for a new job. I bought the car in Durban; South Africa, the car is still registered in South Africa. The given price R50,000 is a Give away price because since i brought the car here i can't use it due to the fact that the constitution here does not allow the Right Hand Drive cars. I'm not sure of coming back to South Africa and the car will be useless if i couldn't get somebody who can ship the car back to South Africa and take good care of it.If you are interested, I can find a transport company here to transport the car back to South Africa for you. The transport cost will be deducted from the R50,000(price on the ad). The Details of the car are as below: VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.4 GTIColour: Red, Mileage: 85900 KmDoors: 5, Transmission: AutomaticEngine Capacity: 1.4L, Model Year: 2012Fuel Type: Petrol, Body Type: HatchbackService History Full franchise service historyTransmission Drive Type FWDABS, Multi function steering wheel, 17" light alloy wheels, Armrest,Air conditioning.In-Car Audio: AM/FM Stereo, CD Player, Navigation System, Premium Sound System Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got me good.I saw an advert(here in bikehub classifieds) recently where the seller said if you work on an oil rig and want the bike for your cousin, this is not the bike for you. Or something to that effect. I also laughed and thought it was pretty funny. AdamA, slickjay007, Vetplant and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfboy Posted August 29, 2019 Share So the right price for this car would be in the region of about R180K so at R50K this would have been an absolute steal price.....The advertiser is no doubt a Nigerian or CONGOLESE individual who will find a victim that will fall for this...and part with his/her money.
