RE: 7,200 s4
They have conatcted me and read the email they sent me and the thing i posted off of autotrader.com
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in purchasing my car.
First of all I must inform you that currently I'm in UK.
My father, who died 1 month ago was the owner of the car.
The vehicle is in good condition, has no technical damage at all, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, kept in our own garage. It's fun and robust to drive.
The car is an US model with US specs, technical inspection and emissions testing is passed and stamped as well.
It has a US title of ownership, cleared of any obligations or fees and comes with all the documents you need to register the item.
I didn't bring it here with me because the car's steering wheel is on the left side, and so it's difficult driving it around the UK.
The car is now located at the AutoTrader warehouse in Denver, Colorado. The car will be shipped and insured by AutoTrader and Square Trade.
AutoTrader will act as a 3rd party for our transaction. You will not have to pay additional taxes for this.
To be able to receive or pick up the car you'll have to send a $3,000.00 deposit.
After you inspect the car if anything seems wrong you'll be able to receive a refund from me under the authority of AutoTrader.
Please send me your full name and shipping address to forward them to AutoTrader. They will contact you with more details.
Thanks for your interest, please feel free to email me any questions or concerns you may have.
Respectfully regards

How can I spot a spoof email?
Rule number one—use common sense. And keep in mind:
http://www.autotrader.com/research/s...ticle_id=12125
If the email describes a deal that is too good to be true, it probably is.
If an email that appears to come from AutoTrader.com solicits a payment or financial account information, it’s a scam. We only ask for such info when you’re placing an ad on our website.
If an email refers to some program or service that is not clearly described on our website, it’s probably a spoof.
You’ll be more likely to spot a spoof email if you know what we do and don’t do on our website:
We don’t get involved in transactions between buyers and sellers. We’ll never send you email urging you to complete the sale or purchase of a vehicle listed on our site. We won’t ask you for a deposit or for information about how you intend to pay for a vehicle.
We don’t verify information about buyers or sellers. We won’t send email assuring you that a transaction is secure or that we've verified information about a particular buyer, seller or listing. Watch out for spoof emails that describe so-called “preferred” or “pre-approved” buyer or seller programs. We don’t offer such programs.
We don’t offer escrow services. We’re not affiliated with nor do we endorse any escrow services. Avoid any escrow website that states or implies that it’s affiliated with us.
We don’t warehouse or ship vehicles for sellers. We’ll never ask you for a deposit or payment for the purchase or shipment of a vehicle supposedly stored in an AutoTrader.com warehouse—it doesn’t exist!
We don’t require payment to enter a sweepstakes or claim a prize. From time to time, we may offer promotional contests. But we’ll never require you to pay any money or reveal financial account information to enter a contest or receive a prize.
