    Help Opinions please *quickly thanks*

    Guys, I'm thinking about buying a car from Germany. I enquired about it, and got this reply.
    I'm very careful, suspicious and green when it comes to online shopping/money transactions, do you think it's a scam?
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hello,
    The car is as good as new so you don't have to worry. Here are the most important details about the car :
    - EU car ( EU model , EU specs )
    - odometer in Kilometers , speedometer in Kilometers per Hour ( Km/H )
    This car meets all Environmental Regulations in the UE comunity.
    It can be registred anytime under your name without a problem.I will send you with the car all the papers so you don't have any problems to registered the car in your name. It's absolutely perfect ,it has a clear title ,has never been repaired , never been involved in any type of accident or had any paint or body work done! I am traveling through Europe right now with business. The best and fastest way I can ship with is using iWorldWideShipping Inc. and it takes between 3-5 days to arrive at your home address. We will use a safe payment method . In the price are included all taxes and shipping cost.The shipping is FREE.
    If you go to www.iworldwideshippingonline.com and make an account there (I am already registered with this e-mail address), we will use them as the third party for this transaction since I am not in Germany now. I never did any internaional deals so I will apreciate if we will use them for this transaction. If we use this company for the transaction I think it will be a lot faster if you transfer the entire amount (which is 8000 EUR) into one of their bank accounts. Let me tell you how we will make this deal:
    1.You will have to give me your full name and shipping address and I will open a case or you can go yourself and make an account there and start a new transaction. Remember, this is the e-mail address that I used to register there.
    2.I will be contacted by them with a confirmation e-mail that you started a new transaction.
    3. As soon as I receive the confirmation that you tra! nsfered the funds to them they will send you the car (the car is already in their custody).
    4.In 5 to 10 days the car and all the documents that you need to pass it on to your name will arrive to the address you provided to iWorldWideShipping Inc.
    5.You will have 10 days to inspect and test drive the car and after 10 days if you not like the car you can send it FREE.(But you make that ONLY in 12 days after you receive the car).
    6.If -you want to buy the car you will have to confirm it to iWorldWideShipping Inc.
    The transfer you make will be kept by iWorldWideShipping Inc. until you will receive and inspect the car.
    If you have more questions you can send them an e-mail at support@iworldwideshippingonline.com.

    The transaction is simple so everything should go as planned.

    Have a good day and hope to hear from you soon.

    Thank you !

    iWorldWideShipping is listed on this website as a fake escrow service. http://escrow-fraud.pgardner.net/?page=reported

    i dont think you have much luck...

    error 500: Interner Serverfehler


    Das angegebene Skript konnte nicht fehlerfrei ausgeführt werden!
    maybe you should email him back and suggest that he uses YOUR choice of escrow service and not the known fraudsters he had chosen to use. why do i think he may not reply to you

    Have you looked at virgincars?

    I got myself a Pug 307 2.0 HDI from there a while ago, not brand new, but new-ish, check it out

    http://www.virgincars.com

    edit: And as you can imagine, reputable and well known company, so little chance of being scammed
