ROMFORD

RM2 6JS

UNITED KINGDOM

Receiver name: NATHAN COBBOLD

Receiver address: 43 CREIGHTON AVENUE

Receiver city : LONDON

Receiver Zip Code: N10 1NX

Receiver Country : UNITED KINGDOM

Then they contacted me and said that I need to pay the full amount of
the outstanding balance because the Western Cape authorities won't
release the car for transportation if there is no proof of an invoice
that are fully paid by the owner of this vehicle. They also stated due
to this unforeseen circumstances the seller  gave me a R4000 discount on
this vehicle and a bill of sale with the warehouse papers .

The delivery date of this car is 6/7/2012.

After I paid the balance and they confirmed that payment was received I
sent them e mails to contact them and ask them if the transaction and
delivery is still on track ,but no one replies on my mails that I send
to them so I am starting to think that is was a scam .

The purpose of this e-mail is to stop this individuals or whoever they
are from doing it again again, I know the terms and conditions, and that
Western Union is not responsible for this event that happened to me, but
I will appreciate any effort from   Western Union to assist where
possible with my case and to block this specific user to in turn make it
difficult for him to do this kind of crime again.

I have a few question I hope you can assist me with be for I explain my
situation :

*         Will it be possible to track this individual who took my money
?(he must have used his ID to receive the money from Western Union)

*         The individual is in the UK will you have any one that can
assist me from there ?

*         Is there any suggestion you can make that I can do may be to
get the Police involved?

Kind Regards

Here is a few mail i got from them

We have sent you the bill of sale document in our last e-mail. You will receive a payment receipt for all the money paid after you confirm the last payment. This last payment must be sent using Western Union to the same company agent. As we have informed you we will protect your money and we will not release and money to your car sender/seller until you confirm that you want to buy the car. If by any reason you don't want to keep the car we will return all your money back + the Western Union fees in the same day when we are returning the car. The car arrives in the next 3 days in South Africa and the transport will be blocked until we receive the final payment confirmation. It will be better if you can confirm the last payment part until Wednesday because we must prepare the documents for the car transport in South Africa.

Dear Client,

In order for you to send money to Cars-Sales-Network agent using WesternUnion you only need to go to your nearest WesternUnion agency (you can find the nearest one by visiting www.westernunion.co.za ) and fill out the form that the operator will provide you there. You only need to know our agent's name and address.
After the funds are sent please do not forget to send us the transfer code ( MTCN # - Money Transfer Control Number ) in order for our agent to be able to verify the transfer. If the payment is valid we will bring the car to your address in 7-8 days. The car purchased will be inspected by the buyer ( you have 5 days for inspection ). After the buyer confirms to Cars-Sales-Network that the car is as agreed with the seller, the funds are transferred to the seller.

If by any reason, the buyer do not agree with the merchandise, the merchandise will be sent to Cars-Sales-Network packed in the original package. The merchandise will be sent to the seller after the seller will cover the shipping and money transfer expenses. Also the entire amount sent by the buyer will be refunded (including money transfer expenses).

Important Note: For business money transfer or internet transactions, WesternUnion charges customers a fee between 150-200.00$ USD
(an international sales tax imposed by the state). If you would like to avoid this fee, when the WesternUnion agent asks you what are you sending
the money for , you can tell him/her that you are sending the money to a friend. There will be no problem and the payment will be received.
