I got a SMS from this number advising I had "won $US1,150,500 in the ongoing USA MOBILE DRAW Ref: US/11/3. for claim Contact Juan Gary via email: mdraw@usa.com & include your email" What a joke! There are a lot of nasty people out there.

First Txt Message from +44 7797 990997
It's; amazing hw much i love ur car on carsguide, send me her service history, interior pictures & pls confirm yr asking price to cooljrusscious@gmail.com.

Thought it was strange to recieve a txt from an international number regarding the vehicle, but after a few minutes, oh what the heck - if they're keen to buy, im keen to sell. Sent a short email via my work address with a few details asking him to call me.

First Email:
I want to know your reason for selling the Vehicle and also let me know if there's any finance plan on it, I'm willing to pay $2,800 and i will be glad if you sell it to me. I will be delighted if you remove the AD online and consider me as your favourite buyer by ignoring all other offers.
I promise to take care of the Vehicle even more than you have done in the past, let me know if my offer is good enough to be the next owner.
John.

Told him I would be happy to sell for $2,800 on the condition the vehicle was picked up two weeks later, and I would take it off the web provided he made a deposit.

Second Email
I won't be able to come over with cash or mail a cheque because presently, i'm working away in Darwin on a research project but i have equally arranged the courier agent that will come for the pick up, transfer of ownership but this will be after i have made payment to you.
Kindly send me your bank details as i'm ready to transfer the money into your bank account.
Kind Regards,
John.

Here is where it got funny. I've never sold a car to anyone who arranged a third party to pick it up and sign for ownership. I asked him to call me and I knew it wasnt legit.

Third Email
I'm not in a network coverage area for my phone, so i have resolved that the best way to get to me at the moment is through my email as i'm presently working away out of town on a personal research project. Kindly let me know if you're still willing to sell to me.
John.

Told him it sounded like a scam and to get lost.

Fourth Email
With Due respect, i do not appreciate those words you say to me.
I will appreciate if you understand my situation here and that i'm serious in buying this car. I have attached a copy of my licence for you to see how serious i'm on this, please send me your details as i'm ready to buy off the vehicle from you.
Kind Regards,
John.

Reported him to Australian Police and a variety of consumer scan websites in Australia.

Nathan, I had the same John Russell. the moment he talked about bank details, I was like cash only and in person.

LOL.
