Scam or Not?

Posted by Emma Cheshire-Jones at May 04. 2008

I've advertised my 313 Sprinter in Auto Trader for £14995 +VAT. My first enquiry is suspicious to say the least. The email is in very bad english, he wants latest pictures and my full details. He is willing to send cheque but says he will arange the pick up. His name is Mr Martin Oluremi. He also wants me to delete my online advert. Too good to be true??
