Andriano.... here is the emails i got from her:

Hello,
 
I'm happy to see your interest in buying this car, yet, I believe you should know that for now i'm in Rome, Italy with the car, which is in a very good condition. I hope you like the car and also that we will complete this deal without any problems. About the transport, I'll have it shipped out to your location. What do you think?
 
This car is GSR Model, all electronic window,air-con as spec. I ordered and installed in Japan all parts body kits, modified parts are all installed in Japan before import. full road reg, 20000kms, Cusco suspension (Fully adjustable), HKS cat back exhaust, HKS air pod, Advan 17" Racing Rims, Brembo brake package front/rear, Blitz boost gauge, Turbo Timer, Close ratio Gear box, Active Yaw Control (AYC), Active Centre Differential (ACD), with great looks this car has perfect handling, awesome performance, and immense braking capabilities.
 
Let me tell you that the price i ask for this EVO is 24000 AUD, the car is in perfect condition and with the car you will receive also the clear title, which can be registered on your name, so there is no problem about that.
 
The car doesn't need any conversion because is AUS steet legal; it meets all regulations so you won't have to pay aditional taxes. It wasn't involved in an accident or anything like that, it's as new. You won't find a scratch on it, the paint looks great; I've garaged this baby.
 
The reason why i want to sell this car is that i realised that the import and register taxes are very high here in Italy so i prefer to sell it and buy another car. It is AUS street legal,so i can't find a buyer hare in Italy ,or in Europe because they don't like the car prepared this way. I love this car and I'm very sorry that I have to sell it. The car is registered in AUS and the other offers that I have are also from AUS and I hope that I can find a serious buyer.
 
Thanks,
 
Emily.

Hello again,
 
The car is in perfect condition, never been involved in an accident so no scratches, no dents, no dings...I really can't stress enough how clean and new this car is.
 
If you want to buy it let me tell you that I intend to SEND THE CAR INTO AUSTRALIA UNDER MY NAME and I will arrange to have you collect the car on my behalf! This way you won't have to pay for customs! Lufthansa Cargo will handle the customs! I will send you all the necessary documentation signed from my end so you won't have any problems registering it under you name. You will get all the papers with the car.
 
I have to tell you that I have other serious offers that I have to consider and I will make a decision regarding this sale function of time of payment and price.
 
The price I hope to obtain is $24000 AU (this price includes shipping and insurance) and if you agree with this price we can start to complete the transaction.
 
The payment must be done using a money transfer service.
 
I prefer money transfer (wired cash) because in this way I will ship the car in the same day you make the payment.
I know that the best deals are closed when the risk involved is minimum. You will arrange payment through Western Union.
 
In case you want me to ship you the car right now you have to make me a payment of $4000 AU (and after you receive and inspect the car you have to send me the rest of the money by certified check).
The inspection period is 14 days.
 
I have something SAFE for you because I want you to be sure that you will receive the car and I hope we will collaborate in the future too.
Look what I can do for you:
 
 - you will make the $4000 transfer to my location but not to my name (you will use your best friends name for example as receiver's name) so you can be sure that I will not pick up the money until you get the car; so you make a deposit at Western Union and you will give me the transfer's details (SENDER'S NAME AND MTCN) so I can check that the deposit was made.
 
After I verify it I will send you the car immediately.
 - only after you will receive the car and check it if it OK, you will have to change the receiver's name of the transfer to my name so I can collect my money.
 
So until you will have the car in your hands the money will be deposited on your best friend's name at Western Union Agency.
 
I think it is better to not inform Western Union that you will change the receivers name in a few days because it is possible they ask you to pay the fees twice (fees that are quite big for such an amount),also when you go to a Western Union office to make the transfer,please don't tell there the reason you send the money because here in this country I must pay some additional taxes when I receive the funds.
 
Please say you send the money to your friends or to your partner.
Is like your friend/partner is in Italy and you want to send him this amount of money!
I will be happy if you can trust me and make the transfer directly to my name but because it is our first deal I've proposed you this very safe and efficient method so you can only deposit the money first and after you get the car I'll be allowed to cash it.
 
On the other hand, I will take you as a serious and possible buyer (this way I will loose all the nonpaying buyers that I occur everyday) and arrange a further deal but in this case you have to come in person to the car´s location to see the car and take it back with you or you can send a friend or agent that lives near by to inspect the car and pay the rest of the money.
 
If you agree with this method you'll have to pay me $2000 AU via W.U.
 
After you've completed the transfer you will receive a confirmation that will allow me to track the transfer.
 
Here are the details that I need:
 
  - sender's name;
  - MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number) (10 digits)
 
As soon as the payment will be confirmed and the money properly sent,I will IMMEDIATELY proceed with shipping if you've sent me $4000 AU or I will hold the car for you if you've deposited $2000 AUD.
 
In case you've paid the money I will ship the car via Lufthansa Airplane Cargo insured and it will take 72 hours until you will have it at your door step.
 
The amounts of payment are fully refundable if for any reason you do not accept the car or if the car has scratches, hidden defects, or it is not as advertised. I will even pay for the shipping back to my location if you reject the car but since it is a state of the art and works and looks perfectly I think it won't get to this.
 
Here is my name and address you need for the Western Union transfer:
 
My details:
 
First name: Emily
Last name: Nuss
City: Rome
Country: Italy
address: via dandolo 75
Zip Code: 00153
 
If you agree with these terms, let me know and I will be more than
glad to start and complete the transaction with you.
 
 
Thank you and I hope that you will have the pleasure to drive this car.
I am waiting your answer ASAP.
Thank you and kindly regards!
 
Emily.

anyone heading over to Romania anytime soon? Maybe just pick up an EVO for me...

[kazbah]

Maybe I'm just the suspicious type, but gee this smells all the way from Italy

[BuCkEt]

Damnit my Mum just got back from visiting Dad in Italy, I could have had them check it out!!

[Adriano]

yup got those emails too
not sure bout this one... but if its legit man this would be the bargain of the century!!

[Ther]

this smells like a con and a half!!!
never deal with western union..its always unsecured...
maybe send an email back and ask if they were running all those african scams way back..

[dannyboyau]

it is a con report it to carsales and get the add pulled before some idiot falls for it.

[D-TRAIN]

Looks dodgy to me.

Here is the discussion thread from EvolutionOz.net:

http://web3.bekkers.com.au/~evo/phpBB2/ ... .php?t=406

[indyfto]

Definitely a scam. I got overly excited a few weeks back upon seeing an Audi TT Quattro for $28K and found out very quickly that there was no Audi at that price "here ". The ads were on carsales, carpoint, autoweb etc...even down to the mileage confirmed by a photo of the odo! Poor guy on the mobile no given was very annoyed by the time I phoned him (only the second day since advertised) as he knew nothing about any car. I did get an email though reading exactly the same thing with the names and car details changed. All photos of it were later found on ebay with a reserve of $48K so just copy and paste to make it look believable I guess. Still, even if you believed the email you'd have to be foolish to think that someone would take a RHD German car to Europe knowing that you could more easily get the same LHD German car in Europe anyway!

[pagan]

i love the reason for selling part, people here dont like cars like this, kitted up or what ever.... YEAH RIGHT! their is a crazy underground scene in europe, germany in particular.

some people have no morals, or conscience... i bet life would be easier without such burdens aye... hope no one falls for it, coz it will sound convincing to the unaware and nieve.

[afterburner]

Now see if you lived over here, you could import an Evo VII privately for about that much no worries ... in NZD of course

Our car import laws are great ... unlike our cricket team

[MrFT000]

heres a plan,
Move to NZ, buy a car (evo 7 or
live there for a year.
bring it back over as a private import.

[kazbah]

Better still give afterburner the money to import the car into NZ and register it there. Have the car imported into Aus as a private import under his name then "buy" it off him.....

[MrFT000]

i think there are certain rules on how soon after you import it you can sell it...

[BuCkEt]

So stick it in storage over in NZ.

That way if you ever take a holiday to NZ you have an EVO to drive around in instead of a crappy rental car


I'm sure if one investigated it fully the options would become clearer.

[kazbah]

Darn!! It would have been a good idea though! Damn those beauracrats

[FTO338]

So stick it in storage over in NZ.

hehehee for $24k i could rent a ferrari for a mth.

[BuCkEt]

hehehee for $24k i could rent a ferrari for a mth.

But you don't get to keep the Ferrari, but this way you can keep the EVO.

[MrFT000]

Some more correspondence from the lovely Emily with the Blue EVO...
Ive replied to this asking for a photo of her standing by the car.

Hey there,

Look, you can make the $4000 Western Union deposit on your friends name and you'll make sure the money will be available for pick up in Italy(you'll use my address as receivers address). After you wire the 4K, you’ll give me this information to verify the deposit: SENDER'S NAME AND MTCN. When you receive the car, with all of the legal paper work, you’ll have to change the receiver's name of the transfer to my name. Then all I have to do is go to my local Western Union agency and show proper identification to receive my initial payment of 4K. Then after inspecting the car and making sure it is everything I told you it was suppose to be and having the proper legal title and documentation, you’ll send me the remainder of the money you’ll owe me by certified check. I'll cash the check here in Italy and everybody will be happy!

I don't have anyone in Aussie that I can trust to handle this transaction for me. My parents died couple of years ago.

Let me know!

Emily.
