scam

anyone who writes like that:

Hello,

My name is Deborah Riley and I am an independent car adviser.I sell this car in the name of the owner and I will get my fee after the deal is closed.I will send you now attached to this email the pictures of the car.Please let me know what do you think.You will also answer your own questions after you see these pictures.

Deb

this is the give away that she is not from states, especially with a name like deborah riley.

Even the famous Amg drive challange cars when sold against MB's advice still listed for alot more than 48,000.

She is full of it I even doubt it is even a SHE

that's my 2 cents

These people are all scammers. A friend of mine got all excited that she found a X5 4.8 for 15g (yah i know it's sooo obvious). So I e-mailed the seller from two different accounts, and got two different people selling it from two different locations!

Send it to me - I'll open it. I have a spare hard drive from a defunct PC that I use for suspicious files and testing new programs. I'll PM you with my email address.

It's the same PC bro, same operating system, resources, ram and registery being on a seperate hard drive does not make it immune.

You are misinterpreting what I do. The spare drive is a stand-alone unit that replaces the system drive. It only contains the OS and a few programs to test for functionality. I'll cover all bets.

It hasn't arrived yet. I suspect my ISP has screened it since it contained an attachment with a .exe extension. Rename the file to a .txt extension and send again.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I do the same thing and one of them has Win98 for programs that are not XP compatible. I use hot swap bays. They make the ultimate back up. Suppose you have a similiar set up.

I have found that Outlook restricts downloading .exe attachments. I use Yahoo or some other web based email client to receive those attachments and they work just fine.

Deb's Response

You are very crazy and with a big mouth. The file it's a exe because it's a self extracting zip archive...have you ever heard of that...no because you are too stupid. I will not sell you this car because you are too stupid.

Why didn't she just say, "I'm telling mommmm!! MOOOOOMMM!!!

What a ridiculous response. "You're a stupid poopy c ocky head and I don't wanna play with you anymore so I won't sell you the car"

Idiots.

********

Okay, this lady asked for it. She's getting the "I only like dealing in cash so I was would love to send you a shoebox full and you can just send me the car when you are ready"....email.

Maybe I will send her a shoebox full of Monopoly money. She'll wet her pants when the shoebox arrives.

05 c55
i had a similar situation about a year ago. i saw an ad for an m3 for like $25K with less than 10,000 miles on it. the dude was really shady. i think the company he wanted to use was called squaretrade. he said the price was so low because he had to get rid of it quick. after like 2 weeks of e mail conversation (he wouldn't call me) i decided it was obviously too good to be true. i bought a c55 from a dealership.
