"Can you send it via my shipping agent in Nigeria for me? Please find a bankerdraft issued by the Halifux bank including the shipping agents fee..."

Could of course be genuine, but unless he is coming to collect it in person and paying in cash direct to a bank, he can FRO IMHO.

I had so many of those on Autotrader I thought about not advertising on there. It seems that they have found pistonheads as i have had a few on there too. On Autotrader I now use the phone only option and use the new system of using a different number that is diverted to your chosen number - worked well.
