Noel has posted a pm he received from Raymond and I have had two similar messages. I respect pm privacy but being a cautious fellow and knowing how many nsxs there are for sale on here I would like to potentially warn people about this!

IF he is a genuine buyer then fair enough but he was offering payment by certified cheque which smelt of scam to me.

Please beware and post here if you have also received offers of purchase via pm from Muca:

Hello

I am interested in buying the 98 3.2 Red/Black that you have placed for sell now, and I would want to enquire about the present condition of the above mentioned, as well as some detail about you. I expect this timely enough.

As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price as I will be paying with a certified cheque.

Lastly, please forward to me your full company's (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through these facilities.

Yours interestingly,

Raymond Griffiths

The English is fairly weird, usually (but not always!) a bit of a giveaway....:rolleyes:

A bit like the GoogleAds spam which is full of typos & punctuation errors!

Damn, I never get spam on this site, except for the replies to my posts, I guess a lot of those might be considered spam;-)


Cheers,
