    Dear Mr. Natkingcolebasket69,

    I am Mr. Enzo, a Lawyer by profession. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Charles Natkingcolebasket62, a national of your country, who used to work with Ferrari N.V. in Nigeria, herein after shall be referred to as my client.

    On the 21st of April 2016, my client, his wife and their onley child were involved in a car accident along Route 66 road. All occupants of the Ferrari unfortunately lost there lives.

    Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives. I came to know about you through an enquiry I was making in the internet, and I found out you shared the same surname with my client, which is why I have decided to contact you, in order to assist in repatriating the Capristo Stage 3 Exhaust left behind by my client before it get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the dealership.

    Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this custom exhaust valued at US $500 Dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money, on the ratio of 50% for me, and 50% for you.

    I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this business through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

    Please get in touch with me by email and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about the details of this transaction.

    Best regards, Mr. Paul Enzo.

    Omg i just had this same issue. Another member on this forum sent me a pm in regards to my 348 wtb post. Hr says this Bob guy has ferrari parts. I email Bob and right away he says he all the parts for 900 shipped...this is a steal of a price. I ask for pictures and he says he doesnt share pictures online. We go back and forth a bit and i ask him were he is located as I have family all over the county and they might be able to do a cash deal...guy never replies back. Maybe we can make a sticky with names of scammers. Fergt was the indiviual who sent me to Bob. Either they are the same person or working together.

    Ask him to text you pictures or better yet, drop them in the mail if he's that paranoid.

    Tell him you want to pick up in person and pay cash. See what his reply is.

    Guys i know im new around here and shouldnt be dictating on what to do but this is ridiculous. Ive been on a lot of forums over the past 15 yrs and all of them have some sort of list of banned members or a sticky with the names of these scum bags who are trying to rip people off. This Bob guy can very well trick someone into a deal one of these days and its gonna make this forum look bad. Lets get some sort of list or seller review going before people actually start losing their hard earned money.
