I received this earlier:

Dear Reader,

Myself Lakshman Rc, a student doing Masters in Business administration.Currently i am doing my dessertation in the topic, new advertisement strategies for BMW. For completing my research, i need to make personal interviews with some BMW owners. It will be highly beneficial if u can give the name, phone number or email id of the BMW owners including you if you are one of them.Please help me to complete my research that will be beneficial for the BWM company also.

Thanks & Regards

Lakshman Rc

now being the suspicious kind, I replied with:

Hi Lakshman,

thats fine.

What College are you studying in?

Can I please see a copy of your interview questionnaire to ensure that you are genuine and not a fraudster as my contacts would be reluctant to participate in something that they feel is not serious?

Regards

KBannon

then he emailed

Dear Killan

Thank a million for the reply.I am studying in Dublin Business school.My student number is [removed just in case!]. My research topic is to find out, can "love", an advertising element be imposed to the marketing strategy of BMW.Currently they are using technological advancement and pride as their marketing element. Changes in the advertisement mix will improve more value to BMW.I wont misuse the contacts if u give me. If you have any doubt in my identity, you can contact my college authorities with the student number.Hope you will help me to complete my research.

Thanks & Regards

Lakshman Rc

to which I replied:

Hi Lakshman,
I presume that you have prepared an interview questionnaire. Could you please forward this on to me?
Regards

now this just came in...

Dear Killan

I didnot prepared the interview questionnaire because i need to get permission from the professor to confirm with the proceedings. For that i need to give a sample population.

Some of the questions i am going to ask are,

1.Does your children or your wife will influence you in buying a car.

2.What is the main factor for you in selecting an automobile.

3.Will you buy a car from the first dealer you meet

4.Do you like to gift a car to your wife on a special occasion.

5.Does visual advertisement help you in opting the best car.

6.If yes to what extend.

Thanks and Regards

Lakshman Rc

so who wants to email him their details?

Lurve that!

The English gets better and better. He is obviously squirming more and more each time you e-mail him to ask questions he wasn't expecting.

Defo a fraudster!

Too much of this thing going on. Like my two recent posts about stolen cars which I think were probably stolen to order its things like this that are used to find the cars to be stolen to order.

If your car isn't being stolen you have to put up with vandals destroying them. Last week a few streets from my house 8 cars were burnt out by someone starting fires under the bonnets. I guess they used fireworks pushed thru the grill or something like.

Hi Lakshman,
I contacted DBS and they believe that there is an error in your registration number. Can you please check it?
Also, as my contacts own cars worth tens of millions of Euros, I must be seen to be vigilant with their details.
I do wish to help you with your Masters bates I would really require this information before I can forward on their full details.
Regards
Killian
