I posted a set of E1 rims here in the classifieds, then last night at around 1120PM i received a phone call from a lady that was relaying a message from someone using the their internet as a their phone, they asked me to email the info on the rims, so this morning i got this as a reply. Even the spelling is wrong. Besides they got my email from the classified how come they could not send me a PM?
Tell me what you guys think?

Total scam!!!

#1 No new Contour's.
#2 If they're in the UK then their English should be better than what's written in that email.
No reason to go out of country to get a company to buy you rims.
#3 If they're in the UK why would you ship a Contour over there when you could get a Mondeo!!!!

If they want the wheels before the payment.. Run.
If you trust this, then cash the check (wait 7-10 days) to see if it clears before you send the wheels.

www.ip-relay.com you can call anyone via internet and have an operator relay the conversation. It is free and can be hours of fun if you have a lot of gullable friends to prank call. But yea, this is a total scam, do not proceed any further in this business transaction.

Why do people still post this garbage? How many times have we gone over this?

It says in clear view in the Classifieds that it's a scam!!! Just read it.
