Genuinely lol'd at super tanker full of bags of dicks.

Got a text about the impreza for sale this morning.

 

Doesn't have a phone number on it it just says "West" as the sender.

 

Message is as follows "i want to know if your vehicle on gumtree is still available. please email me on westaine@gmail.com"

 

Maybe its just me but this sounds kinda weird.

[skillionaire]

Just you.

[Harry88]

People are weird HAZFOZ.

 

No this one was dodgy. This is the email I got back

 

"

Thanks for the prompt reply. My name is L***** West. I believe my son sent you a text message to email me for the sale. I will like to know the lowest price for it and i want you to get back to me with more pictures and its current condition because i can’t come over to inspect it. I am buying it locally here as a gift for my son that is living in Malaysia.

  I am at sea at the moment as i am an Marine biologist ( i work on South Pacific Ocean in east of New Zealand ) and due to the nature of my work, phone calls is restricted. It was my son that check your advert and sent you a text to contact me (his mother ) on my email address because i am currently offshore .

 I  am really sure he will be more than happy if i am able to purchase it from you because this is what he want and chose from the Advert.

 You need not worry yourself about how it will get to him there in Malaysia as i have a contact of shipping company there that will be handling the pick up and all the paper work."

 

Told them not to contact me further.

Yeah, that's an obvious dodgy. But as long as you're onto it I'd reply to all enquiries.

Yep, just had another one come in. I put the mobile number into a google search and it comes up with scam watch sites.

 

Won't even bother emailing that one.

[Harry88]

More googling around. Its all a scam to get your bank information.

 

Anyways. If a nice Subyclub member would buy my car that would be great.
