    Got this email today, probably some sort of scam but wondered if any of you guys in the VW world had had the same one?

    Hello,
    I apologize for my email. David Williams (here in copy of this email) referred me to you.
    I restore and collect German cars with my brother in law Serge.
    I'm looking to buy an early 50's to 70's Porsche & VolksWagen Beetle or Bus.
    My brother in law is also interested on any classic European cars as Mercedes, Jaguar, Maserati, Aston Martin etc...
    I'm familiar with the restoration, i will consider any condition, you are welcome to come visit me and look at our collection.
    Please let me know if you can help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Tim

    Ask for photos. Get them sent to a old email address or something.

    Sounds like the emails I get about all the sexy women who live near me and are dying to meet me.
    It's got to be true, doesn't it? :confused:

  17. Humm sounds dodgy to me. But I thought the same when I sold my pick up. I kept on getting emails from someone and every time I read them I had a South Africans voice in the back off my head. Very bad English. Then I had one from a man in London to say his friend in Germany wanted to by my van. He paid the money I problem
    Transpires that when a man from Poland came to collect it in his lorry the man who bought my van was a Russian man living in Germany Who collected and sold European cars.
    His name was Toni his brother was Andrias.
