Ja mye snusk ute og går i bilbransjen...
- jeg "slet veldig" med en Nigerianer som ønsket å kjøpe en bil av meg som jeg averterte på en engelskspråklig bilklubbside på nettet. Enden på visa var at han skulle overføre £ 160.000,- (over 1.9 mill) for en bil til 100.000,- til kontoen min (som jeg ikke oppga) og så skulle jeg "bare" sende det resterende til en annen konto som han skulle oppgi.... Om jeg ikke ville oppgi kontoen min, så ville han ha adressen min slik at han kunne sende meg en sjekk pålydende dette beløpet i posten. Jeg gjorde ikke dette siden jeg luktet kumøkk ganske tidlig og etterhvert kom det fram at han hadde en "business partner" i England som kunne komme over til meg og se på bilen, en onkel i et shippingkompani som kunne frakte bilen til Nigeria samt "many friends" i Europa som skulle se til at transaksjonene gikk som de skulle...
Man kunne jo bare oppgitt en konto med overtrekk på og stukket av med de 1.9, men jeg tror nok at halve Mbutu-stammen hadde vært på jakt etter en stakkars nordlending bosatt i Østfold etterpå....
Han var svært pågående både med å få tak i telefonnummeret mitt og adressen, - så "achtung - achtung)

Om noen kaller seg "Your friend John" er det grunnlag for å være skeptisk...
Denne var ganske vanskelig å ta alvorlig ja 
Vi sendte mail på en supra i Italia for en tid tilbake. Da fikk vi svar fra en "enke" som hadde mistet mannen sin i marinen eller noe slikt, bilen stod bare i garasjen og hun ville bare bli kvitt minnene osv osv....blablabla. Prøvde å ringe, men det oppgitte nummeret eksisterte heller ikke... BOMBE!!!
