Time to get baiting, and see just how much research gets done by these scammers:
--- Quote ---Hi
Do you have any details of your 88" chassis? Does it have the 2CV engine and gearbox, this is exactly what I'm looking for.

Quite a rare chassis I would imagine. But, Mr Stewart has exactly what I need:
--- Quote ---Hello Pete,
It is in excellent condition,It has 2CV engine with gear box.Send me your full name and address so that the transaction can be expedite.Meanwhile an agreement has been signed with the shipping company and you will need to sign as well when they gets to you because they are coming along with all the docements and i will like you to help me entertain them when they arrive and if all the required information requested by me is been given to me,they will branch at your vicinity on friday 12th November 2004.So you will need to reticulate the fund into two then you send half of the money to this doctor's information below then you get back to me with the test question and answer subsuming the MTNC control number:
Name..... Abbey John Paul
address....200 ylazkaya street,
krasnodar,
Russia..
so that my wife's surgery operation can commence then you give the shipping company the remaining balance when they arrive.try and make this very fast so as to make trhe transaction expedite.looking forward to read from you back unfaillingly today
