      I am very interested in your car. I do request a personal visual inspection and would be happy to travel to Singapore. My offer is this: You pay for my travel to where the car is in Singapore to allow for inspection. If the corvette has been fairly represented I will pay asking price plus reimburse you for my travel expenses.

      Let me know your response

      What exactly is not fair about it. I'm willing to give you full asking price and reimburse you for my travel expenses if you have fairly and accuratly represented the car, if in fact it actualy exists! Do you honestly expect me to travel halfway around the world to look at a car at my expense based on your word. If your telling the truth then we will have a deal.... Sounds very fair to me!

      LOL, love it. I would send him fake airline tickets via email for a flight over there. Let him know that you've given in and agreed to his terms. I'm sure it would be at least a 30-60 minute drive each way for him to meet, hmm, you, LOL.

      Just exactly what is this guy trying to say?
      If this guy is trying to make a career of scaming, he's going to starve to death real soon.
      I like the idea of you getting him to drive to the airport to pick you up. Let's see how many hoops you can get him to jump through. Let's see if you can get him to send a picture of him dressed in his underwear, holding a loaf of bread and eating a fish.

      So Here's the latest... How far should I take it, I think in my next email I'll describe what I will be wearing so he won't miss me at the airport, "hey buddy, look for a 6'8 320lbs white guy with a blonde mullet, I'm wearing red cowboy boots and a pretty flower sun dress", oh yeah and "I'll have a big brown paper Shoprite bag with $100 bills in it".


      hello...

      Thank you for your willingness came come here and I will met you in our airport together will depart directly to my house to see the car.... but I really expected your willingness to contact me before you departed come here because in close time this I wanted to Australia to buy a boat...At the moment I was in the batam island in order to arrange my company there...

      please let me know as soon as possible

      thank you

      I give much thought, and decide to see car in person, I have booked a flight leaving Friday September 9 number CO5875 arriving 1:05 am you time. Where is the car located for inspection? And how do I get there? I would appreciate if you could meet me at airport and go directly to car since I leave Sunday. Let me know if this can be arranged....
