Hi all,

I just got this one, and I'm wondering if it's a new twist, or if it's been around before.

I haven't seen anything about a new car too, but I also haven't read all 764321 articles here yet! Surprised

I can post the complete email, but examination of the headers show that it started life in Nigeria.

Excellent...
Go through the motions with these guys.
Ask for a pic of the car including the interior.
(take note of which side the steering wheel is on.)

Then just before heading off to the WU office, tell the Lads that you live in North America/UK, depending on the picture they send you. Tell them the steering wheel is on the wrong side for your location.
You will need a new pic of the car, interior included showing the correct steering configuration for your country before making payment.

There was a bait with this modality a good while back where the baiter pretended to claim the money and instead of paying the fees to the lad, insisted that they kept the car as payment.
I remember laughing for days about it and boring the pants of all the friends I have left since joining eater Shocked

edit: I found the bait here

^^^ Thanks - I'll give this one a shot and see how it develops. Thanks for the tips.

I hope it's the proper color (colour).

I did one of these and kept asking them to modify the car. I wasn't patient or reasonable enough. I was a lighthouse keeper and I was going through my squirrel sanctuary phase. I required the changes as I lived on an envoronmentally protected island site preserved as a red squirrel habitat.

See what happens when I bait straight Laughing

They dropped me pretty quickly - but I enjoyed piffing them off whilst it lasted.
