Cecebe says:
“Marie Betlow” also posted a 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander on the Kitchener Kijiji site. When contacted the individual advised she and her family had recently relocated to Spain for her employment and the vehicle was in Corner Brook Nfld. They had it all up similar to this BMW issue, with a company called Knights-Shipping to send it anywhere in Canada. Note, this BMW appears to be listed as a vehicle for sale on the Knights-Shipping website. (The website raises lots of questions as well) As soon as I asked for the VIN number, and the address where the vehicle was located in Corner Brook, so I could have a police friend check the vehicle out for me, that was the last I heard. No surprise. Just a hunch, but I’m guessing Marie Betlow may not be who she says she is – ya think??
