		<description>I too have had these series of emails over in the UK.  My person was called Jessica Silverstone and, despite being English, didn&#039;t know how to use spaces and punctuation.  I became immediately suspicious when she was happy to buy my car without looking at it!

Oh well, i googled the email address and found this site and, like many others, found it very funny that i got the exact same emails.  they seem to have come on a bit though, they include complex tables and less fractured disclaimers these days!</description>

		<description>Well, I too was contacted by a John Mionsköwski with the same email address (johnmionskowski.1966@yahoo.de).  It also was a little strange that he/she couldn&#039;t spell and/or put together a complete sentence.  And ironically, he/she is using the same format for requesting information.  I actually received a check that looked rather fishy - so I started to do some searching online and found your posts.  I thought about trying to scam him/her back but decided to just tell him/her to take a hike!

Thank goodness for the internet!!  And thank you for posting!

		<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>
