    Hi i am currently selling my fiance's car on Carzone, i have been getting a few emails which seem all to strange, i am well aware of all scams out there and very much follow the policy of if its too good to be true than it usually is,
    anyhow here is a couple of examples that i got sent just to make other people out there aware of fraudsters.
    I got this one from P.L. Whyte

    1.""Hi,
    Your price is moderate comparing it to others.
    I wont be able to come and view the car myself and make payment on
    spot because i am not available at the moment, I'm on a business trip
    seminar but willing to transact business with you on phone so we could
    speedy this so you wont sell it off to other interested buyers.

    Mode of payment will be Irish bank draft, It only clears in seconds.
    You don't have to wait for a whole day. As soon as you receive
    payment, I will be available by then, I would come to your address for
    the picking up and also signing of any sale of agreement. The car is
    purchased for a friend in Ireland. I am located in London.

    I will be needing your Full Details:

    Full Name... Your Full Name on the draft
    Address.. To post the draft
    Phone Number:.. To call you for update

    I will call you asap when I get your details to explain further.

    Thanks for your understanding,

    and this one from John Bowell
