I am curious, first as to whether anyone else has gotten this message; and second, can anybody translate what the hell he is talking about.

 

Are you selling your car? It sounds like this guy doesn't know much english but is responding to an ad that you may have had for your car. If your not selling your car then i have no idea.

 

Or maybe he's trying to ask if you want to sell your car? You know like when real estate telemarketers call and ask if your going to sell your house anytime soon.

 

This is a textbook scam, lots of information about this on the net.

Google: Car ad scam

I did have a BBi for sale a couple of years ago, but it's long gone and I certainly don't have it advertised anywhere. And it was never on E-bay, the FML, or the like.

I suspect you're right that it's some kind of scam, but for the life of me I can't figure out from the garbled message what it might be. Perhaps it is being translated from Dutch into English; if so, the guy should find a new translator.

If I still had the car for sale, and were the gullible/desperate type, I wouldn't know how to respond to the e-mail even if I wanted to.

 

It sounds like the guy is fishing for suckers off of old ads. That english translation sounds like one of the automatic ones that you can do with google. I'd just ignore it.

 

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY SCAM EMAILS ( and phone calls!) I HAVE BEEN GETTING FOR THE GTB AND THE DINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, and cashiers check send with many moneys to cash, send balance back with car to shipping.
409 scam is this

 

Bob, sell the car again: scam the scammer!

 

Ah! the Nigerians never give up looking for an American fool.

 

Total scam. The wording isn't because of a translation error, it is some guy trying to sound like a lawyer.

 

Yeah, the dutch are nuts.

The text looks like it is from a translation program.
Strange though... this guy actually had a 512 for sale in the past.
