alright i put a cavalier 95 4dr in the classified section a while ago, i was only asking $500 for the car and it doesnt run and i put my email. well this guy wanted the car right away before asking any pictures and asked if i took money orders, and wanted a mailing address and my full name. well today i got my mail and their is 4 money orders for $700 each, so $2,800????? and he told me he will send enought to cover shipping.
I havent gone to the bank yet and seen if the checks are real or not but they look real, and i showed my uncle which is a cop and worked at a bank for years and he said that it is also real.
i was just curious if anybody has heard of this guy or if its happend to you??
seems like a SCAM!

Bomex03Cavalier (1CAV2NV) Online- seriously man? i just dont know if its real or not!
cash the checks and make sure they clear before you do anything
Scam or no scam that is still alot of money just to cover the expense of shipping a car. It only costs about 600 to 1000 to ship a car. Most places charge only like 700.
