Hello Sir!
I am William Henry, Managing Director of Stock
Trading World Ltd, UK. I am very much interested in
buying the Car that you have for sale. Actually i
have been looking out for this exact model to buy to
join my car collections and i am happy you have such
for sale.
Please i will like to know if it is still available
for sale and also what is your last offer price for
it?
Is there any down-payment required or payment should
be in full? Please give me more information about
the pricing and payment so that we can proceed
towards making the payment arrangement.
Email me at:
Best Regards!
Mr. William Henry,
M.D, STOCK TRADING WORLD LTD.
The first thing I notice is that they do NOT, apparently, use
email addresses designed for the site in question... Note that

Bill,
Just wanted to say thank you for posting your experience. "They" are still using the same name! It helps me to avoid a likely scam. This seems to be epidemic and you are probably receiving many "Me too" emails. This "William Henry" just sent this second email (below) last evening. Let me know if I can help. I would help any prosecution of the individuals responsible.

Hello Lee,
I am still interested in buying the car from you. I was actually planning to travel down to come and inspect it properly before i make any payment but i have just been scheduled by my company to represent in an upcoming stock trading conference meeting outside UK, so my traveling to meet you will be delayed a little bit, but i will like to make deposit payment just to ensure that it will not be sold out to another buyer and after my deposit payment i will contact my company shipping agent to meet you to inspect the car for the shipping arrangement, and then i will send the balance payment to you.
Please let me know how much deposit payment you want me to make, and also how you want the payment done because my bank in UK can only make wire transfer outside UK to business line of credit accounts, a certified US bank account OR the money can be wired directly and instantly to your Credit Card Account, so if you have a Business line of credit account, a certified US bank account or a good Credit card that can take up to the full payment amount, then let me know so that i get in touch with my bank manager to get the requirements they will need from you to be able to make the wire transfer payment to you.
If you don't want an instant payment then i can send you a certified check for the payment but this will take some time for the postal delivery of the check to get to you.
Just let me know the payment method you
wish to use to receive the payment.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Regards!
Mr. William Henry,
M.D, STOCK TRADING WORLD LTD.
Well ... While not the work-at-home scam they tried to use on me, the payment by wire appears to be an attempt to get credit card or bank account information from Lee. The second option for payment - certified check - most likely would come much larger than the requested amount, and Lee would be asked to wire the overage back to Mr Henry. Then the check would turn out forged or fake, and Lee would be required to put the amount back in his account, and then he'd most likely be caught up in the legalities of passing a bad check.
I'm glad I could be of some help. Sometimes it's difficult to
know whether the scam pages are getting through and helping
anyone. 
End Notes
Again, these are unsolicited emails I received, as I received them. I only changed formatting slightly (to allow word-wrapping) and removed the authors' names/identifying info, if requested. The claims and comments are the email authors'.
Just be sure to do research on more than MY pages.
