Which of you Inner Voices will you listen to, Cammy?

The one that says "silly price, cash up front to a man in a far away land -must be a scam "

or

The one that says "I want a 733 for 6k"?

Orders are not processed until we receive confirmation from our Bank Account payment provider that the payment has been made and authorized.

Then that is when the real charges start to arrive.

Usa tax

Usa export tax

Delivery charges.

Extra shipping charges.

customs tax uk

ce cert fees

finder fees.

the list goes on and on in the end you may have paid 6 times the value of the vessel
and still not got any thing.

There also is no guarantee your even get the one advertised.

Big scam

The guy sounds like the same one that has been thrown of O & B many times.
