They will say they are overseas and will need to arrange shipping.

Don't part with anything until you have seen the whites of their eyes...Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:54:51 GMThotrod10/Topic3082-64-1.aspx<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-AU style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT color=#000000>We have received reports of some seller’s receiving SMS and email enquiries into their items for sale from non-legitimate buyer’s based overseas.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-AU style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p><FONT color=#000000> </FONT></o:p></SPAN></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-AU style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT color=#000000>Below is an example of the SMS you may receive: <SPAN style="COLOR: #090909"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"><I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Courier New'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US"><FONT color=#000000>Hey,saw <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">ur</st1:City></st1:place> add on tradingpost and will like to know if the car is still available.
