		<description>Thank you for your posting as it has helped out a lot with a guy named John Mionsköwski from Scotland. He was willing to pay $12,000 for a car he has never seen before. I sent him pictures of the exterior since that is all I had. 

He never said anything about a paypal account though, he just asked for my mailing information so he can mail me a cheque. I found this very suspicious because he never answered my questions about how he was going to ship it. I have attached my e-mails with him so everyone will know what he is up to.

Hello John,

I am glad to hear that you are serious about purchasing the car but I would like to wait till I am able to send you all the accurate information over the Christmas holidays to make sure that this car is truly what you want and are willing to pay to have shipped overseas. I hope you understand but I do not want you to pay all the costs for this car and not be satisfied. I have made some mistakes about a couple of things; we do not have the receipts for all the work that has been done on it and it has had the roof replaced. I will contact you as soon as I am able to provide you with all the information.

I would like to thank you for your patience and understanding.

Best Regards,

Tracy

    Hello John,

    I have been told that the asking price is $12,000 but they are open to reasonable offers. Like I said in my last please contact Carol at cccat@shaw.ca if you have any questions about the price. She is the one who decides what she will accept for an offer. I am only able to supply the car facts and information.

    Thank you,

    Tracy

        Hello John,

        I would like to thank you for your inquiry, I have attached all the specs that I know off hand and some pictures. It&#039;s actually my mother in-law that is selling this car so I have forwarded her your information. I am going to let her talk about the price she is asking so if you would like to contact her, her email address is ???@shaw.ca. I only have pictures of the outside of the car right now, I am hoping when we go up for the Christmas holidays I will be able to take interior pictures and get more information for you. I could not help but notice your address is in Scotland, would you be shipping the car overseas?

        This had 91,242 original miles, everything is original on and in this car. This was the 1985 “Show Stopper” show car for the 1985 Vancouver, British Columbia car show. It was purchase on the trailer heading for the show so it is the original owners who are selling this beautiful car. We are hoping to find someone to continue to love it and appreciate what a great car this is. There have been $12,000 put into restoring it and receipts are available. If you wanted to put modified collector plates on it you can in 2010. It has also been re-certified with ICBC.

         

        It has the following original parts: 305 V8 engine, fuel injectors, rims, stereo decks, interior, same paint colour scheme with red pin striping.

       ???-???-???? (Powell River, BC) her name is Carol.


        Please let me know if you have any other questions as I will try to find the answers to them now. If I do not know the answer I can find out the answer when we are visiting them for Christmas and I will be able to look into it myself.


        Best regards,

		<description>Good one with the treadmill. I really thought it was funny. Particularly that the crook thought two cities in the same country couldn&#039;t be that far apart! LOL 

Anyway John Mionskowski is now trying to buy a car worth $8 and spend $4G to ship it. But he has upped his game. Asked for more information and is spending some effort on getting some details correct. Thankfully stupid but even stupid gets lucky now and then so everyone should be on their guard.</description>

		<description>Thanks for posting the experience. I received the same email yesterday while trying to sell my car online on carsales.com.au. I smell a rat immediately as KNOW ONE will buy a car without looking at it. 

I just copy the message and pasted it on google and found your story. Certainly helps to confirm that its a SCAM.

Below is the email I got.

First email - I will like to make an offer of $16,700 for your car, pls let me know if you accept my offer? (I&#039;m selling it for $16,500.)

Second email - Thanks for the mail,i am buying the car for dad and i am at sea at the moment as i am a marine engineer and i really want the car to be a surprise for dad so i wont let him know anything abt the car until it gets delivered to him , i am sure he will be more than happy with the car.I insisted on paypal because i dont have access to my bank account online as i dont have internet banking, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, i will need you to give me your paypal email address so i can make the payments asap for the car and pls if you dont have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com.au and get it set up , after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through.I have a pick up agent that will come and pick the car up after i have made the payments.
