That's a new kind of scam, asking for car mechanics instead of money. Is that because they're all over here?

Help AtW, he's skint

He supposedly sent me this mail:

Friends!

One year ago my friend from Russia has bought the used car Mercedes-Benz ML270CDI, 2002 year of manufacture, from the car-dealer Bielefeld Automobile in Delmenhorst, Germany.

When the car arrived to Russia, it started to constantly break and the numerous repairs of the car took away more money than the cost of the car.

Now the brake in the car does not work correctly. The car suddenly put the brakes on and the stop signals shine all the time while driving. He does not use the car since several months because it is very dangerous.

The repairing works at the Mercedes-Benz centers in Russia are extemely expensive and it is several times more expensive than in your country. Besides, there is no any Mercedes-Benz center in the region where he lives.

Therefore my friend is looking for a specialist from your country who could arrive in Russia (160km south from Moscow), check the car and solve the techical problem. He will pay for the freight tickets and repairing services, he will be pleased to provide you with accomodation at no charge and he will show you all the beautiful places of his region.

Recently Volkswagen AG has built a great manufacture of cars in the region where he lives. Many specialists came to this manufacture from Germany. They are very kind, intelligent and friendly. They have build the children play-grounds in the city, planted many trees and made many other beautiful things for Kaluga city. The citizens of Kaluga are very happy, because the local authorities could not do it for many years.

My friend is very grieved that he has bought the Mercedes-Benz car. Once the car will be repaired, he wants to immediately sell it and buy the Volkswagen car. His neighbour uses an old Volkswagen Golf car for the last ten years and he never had any problems like this.

If you can come to Russia and repair the car, please contact his relations by phone at +7-960-5145083. They speak Russian.

We hope to hear from you soon!

Aleksei.

P.S. I would be very grateful to you if you could translate this message to the German language and send this translation to a.ivanov@laposte.ru
