Scam in South Africa.
I responded to an advert on OLX for a BMW 320i for R35 000.00.
After a few hours from my responce to the advert it was removed from OLX.
He did not want me to see the car or give me any contact numbers for him.
Please remember if it sounds to good to be true it may just be a scam.
Always have a look at what you are buying and follow safety tips on the site you are buying from, they are not on the site for love and charity……

Hello,
My black 2009 BMW 320i is still for sale, has 83,000 kms, manual transmission. I’m a private seller and the price is R 35,000. The car is tidy and mechanically in good running condition, non smoker, always garaged, has never been involved in any accident it has no leaks or drips.If you decide to buy it, you’ll receive all the papers, owner manual, keys, a buy-sell contract already signed by me.My brother owned this car, he lived in, South Africa. My brother died two months ago in a motorcycle accident and now I’m the owner of the car but I decided to sell it. I also don’t want to get rich on the death of my brother and also to bring the car here will cost me high import fees so that’s so that’s why I have lowered the price.I’m from Bulgaria and is very difficult for me to get the car shipped here to my country so I chose to sell the car in South Africa.I’m not interested in any trades, only to sell it for cash! The car is priced for a fast sale, so it would be better if you don’t need financing.
Please let me know where are you located and if you need anything else.
Thanks for your interest!
Liam

Hi again,
I appreciate your serious intentions for my car.Like you know, I`m located in Bulgaria and I can`t make the sale in person because I`m not in South Africa.The transaction will be made through eBay Purchase Program to make sure we are handling this safely.The car and all the documents are located in Springbok in a sealed container in eBay Purchase Program custody.I’m sure you’ll better understand the whole process after eBay Purchase Program will contact you. But I cannot start a deal if I don’t have their agreement. I’ll explain… There are taking place thousands of transactions through eBay Purchase Program daily. I’m paying some fees to eBay Purchase Program for mediating the deal. I start the transaction. They have send you the invoice. You make the payment. They are holding the funds in their account until you receive and inspect the car and its papers.
All documents,including clear title and a bill of sale on your name will be provided along with the car.Once the money will arrive to eBay Purchase Program account and they’ll let me know and I will start the delivery process to your address, you will received the car in max 3 days.From the delivery day , you will have another 5 days to check the vehicle and the papers. If you’ll be satisfied with it, than eBay Purchase Program will send the money from their bank account to my account.If it doesn’t match my description or if you find anything wrong with it (is not our situation), eBay Purchase Program will refund your money is 2 working days and I will be in charge of the return delivery fee.
If you are still interested just send me your full name and delivery address and also your phone number. I will forward your info and they will notify you about our deal.
Thank you.

Sir I think this is a scam. I cannot pay for something you don’t want me to see. So please don’t waste my time.
