Attached were 4 jpg's, bill of sale, purchase order, sales contract 1, sales contract 2
i like how they have gone to great lengths to make up forms, stamps , and other crap to make it look "official"...
But no answer to the questions i asked, so i 'll repeat em and ask some more
"Hi Jim
who is this John Kane person? I'm confused now
You have not answered my questions regarding guarantees about my money
Nor did you answer me about having the car inspected by a friend in the UK, who would then pay the amount in cash .
This Western Union is not possible, there is no WU office anywhere near Ypres, if i am to wire money , please forward me your IBAN and BIC details, and i can wiretransfer through a real bank... it's faster, and best off all, it's free within the EU..
One more thing, please forward me the registration details on the car, the Chassis/VIN number, and engine type and serial, i need to verify things are clear for the title.
take care,
Steven"
