Seems it aint sold at all - "Matt" has contacted me again after I emailed him asking where and when I could view, (My prediction earlier in this thread was close enough):
Hi Danny, The van is in perfect condition, tires are 80% good, MOT-ed up to Feb. 2010, no accidents, no hidden issues (please HPI check the VRM), full service history with all bills, no modifications all factory fitted, still road taxed for this year, VAT already payed. Our deal will run secured and insured by AirCargo Express CDS www.aircargo-express.eu.com , they will hold your funds during van delivery and inspection period (5 days for inspection). Kind regards, Matt Edited by energysolutions - 17 Nov 09 at 08:11 |

It must be genuine if AirCargo Express CDS will be holding the money

"Matt" has assured me that viewing the van is not necessary as it is in perfect condition, also included in the deal is a 5 day inspection period - result or what! Hi Danny,
I would love to close the deal in person with you but this time I can`t because I am busy with job duties in Italy, I have many meetings in Bari, Bologna and Florence. You will get 5 days inspection period prior your decision to buy the van, but first you have to complete the deposit to Air Cargo Express CDS or eBay Motors as a third party.
In order to start the official transaction I need to know the shipping address for AirCargo Express. As soon as I have it, I'll start the official procedure and ECDS service will notify you about this.

Ask him if he'd be interested to help you get £850,000,000 out of the country for an ex-govt official friend of yours.
Could you post his e mail address or phone number as i'd love to wind him up.

I have done just that - twice!
He has tried to put me off by insisting he is too busy with work (I smell something)
Do Easyjet do flights to Nigeria?

I have emailed him. Here, for you all to see is a copy.
Hello my friend,and a good day to you.
My name is Mpwengay Ksanga, the very reverend minister of the Kuntuku Church of Nigeria.
I see that you have a wonderful Volkswagen van for sale. My parishioners and I have been saving for many years to acquire such a wonderful vehicle to help us spread our dear Lords word around the townships. We have managed to save up six thousand of your British Pounds and would like to buy your vehicle. If you could arrange for the vehicle to be left at the docks at Tilbury at your earliest convenience, I will send one of my flock to collect it. If you would be so kind to let me know any additional costs incurred in the transportation of the wonderful Vlokswagen vehicle to Tilbury docks, I will ensure that my colleague brings this with him. I would come myself but I have important meetings with government officials for the next few weeks. Actually, I wonder if you would be so kind as to help one of these officials with a matter of national importance. If I were to place in your bank account (only temporarily) £850,006000, and then you give my colleague back the £850,000000 in cash, I would be pleased to give you say £100 for your trouble. No no no no. Forgive me for even suggesting such an imposition.
Please inform me when it is convenient to purchase the wonderful Volkswagen vehicle.
Your servant
The Very Reverend Mpwengay Ksanga

I`m gonna play him a little more and then try him for a swop:
This is my standard response:
I am a little strapped for cash at the moment so I wondered if you would consider swapping it for a 3 wheeled van? I have included a picture of my brother and I with the van.
It comes complete with go faster stripes and sunstrip.
It has done 28304756284 miles and was serviced religously every 3495637399930 miles. Do not let the miles put you off because I can add or remove as many as you like to your "desired" mileage.
I cut the sunroof into it myself and it works well while there is no rain. A yellow mac is supplied in case of rain.
It will do 70 MPH but you do need a cliff to achieve this.
The rear window has a small crack but I have sucessfully repaired it with selotape.
It is a little rusty but you do get used to the hole in the floor and remember where not to touch.
Optional extras include sat nav, steel wheels, speedometer, air con and cigarette lighter. Window wipers are available at extra cost.
This is a very reluctant sale and we only sell this fine vehicle so my brother can finally realise his dream of becoming a woman and the money from the van will pay for the operation.
I could take your van as part exchange and we could negotiate how much money you will have to give me.
Please let me know if we have a deal

Well, I sent my proposition about a potential swap and this is what I got back:
Hi,
I need some cash for bills so I cannot have the accept the swap with your nice car, the good news is that I can hold the vn for you one week if you are keen to buy it.
Matt
He`s either incredibly stupid or very persistant...........

Yeah but you were trying to scam him
Ok - here is my reply:
Hi,
Is there no way we can sort out a part exchange for these two vehicles?
I may be able to reduce the price of my vehicle since Bruno (my pet rottweiler cross) has been living in the rear and he is not yet house broken (It would benefit from a clean)
The last time I attempted to clean it I almost lost my glass eye and have not tried since
Also, the vehicle is not as keen to go round left corners as right corners so with these defects in mind I would consider a straight swop
I am currently awaiting a shipping quote from "AirCargo Express CDS" and provided you are agreeable I will ship the vehicle to your door and give you a 5 day inspection period
Let me know if you are interested as I have had other interested parties in this unique vehicle
Regards,
Danny

Hey, at least his written english is pretty good. It used to be the poor spelling and grammar gave the game away. You've got to give them credit for improving their spiel ;)
It must be worth their while, they keep doing these scams so they must be getting a return on their time ie at least some suckers are falling for their scams . Edited by gregozedobe - 18 Nov 09 at 07:22 |

Another quality thread. Almost choked on my tea twice!!
Was going to enquire about the van for a laugh but couldn't improve on the 2 offers already made.
