My husband found this ad on Autotrader.com :

It is for a 2005 Mini Cooper for $6800- too good to be true, but he emailed him anyways. Here are the emails we received from this person- Identical in wording from what others have received. Thanks to these reports on ukconsumercomplaints.coms, we didn't go through with anything. Please beware of these scams!

Hello,
Thank you for your interest about my car. Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm in Glasgow (Scotland) right now and I have been very busy. The total price of the 2005 MINI Cooper is $6, 800.00USD shipping included. THIS IS MY LAST PRICE. I'll not negociate the price. The car is registered and located in United States. I want to keep the car for me, but I cannot register it here, as it is made for the USA market, according to US standards. So, I decided to sell it. Luxury and full-sized utility all in one beautiful package this is 2005 MINI Cooper. A few words about the car:
MINI Cooper
-Body Style: Hatchback
-53, 904 miles
-Automatic
-Title is clean.
-Engine:4 CYLINDERS
-Exterior: Black
-Interior: Black
The car is like new, in perfect conditions, accident free, no scratches, no special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever. A genuine road runner ready to be yours, but only if you shall understand and you won't make me loose time as it has already happened to me. I'm selling it so cheap because i have recently divorced with my wife and she was the only one driving it.
If you have any question please don't hesitate to reply.

Hello,
As I told you in my first e-mail, I am in Scotland, United Kingdom with my work. Before leaving US I had prearranged the deal with www.MoneyBookers.com so my presence in US isn't necessary. The car is in their warehouse in New York, NY ready for delivery to buyer home address. You have 10 days to test and inspect the car. So if you want to make this deal I need the following details from you:
*Full name and address
*Shipping address and zip code
*Phone #
After I will have all this details I will forward them to MoneyBookers and I will proceed the order. MoneyBookers will contact you with all the details that you need to complete this deal and also to see that i am covered by them and that I am legit seller.
Waiting your email with the requested details.
Regards!
