Hey guys,
So I have my wifes old car for sale. Its a 99 Grand Am, and I have been emailing back and forth with a guy in the UK. For some reason it sounds sketchy to me. Here is his email to me.
2nd Email :
"i told you that am very far away from you so i cant even call far distance you can only get in tought with my client so i want to know right now mail me the last price of the car now mail it to me immedaitely "
3rd Email :
Hello
Thanks for the quick response,and i live in united kingdom, so am okay with
the price and their no need for me to take a look at the car ,
becuase am far away from usa so dont worry about the shipment i have a
shipping agent that carter for my pickups anywhere in the world.I will
instruct my client to send you a cashier's check of 6,000$ so what you have
to do immediately the check gets to you just deduct the funds for the
car , and send the excess amount to my shipping,agent so that they
can be able to pick the car ,up from your destination.I want you to
forward me with your
full name.................
address ...................
cell phone number#...............
zipcode...............
state................
country................
Expecting your response back thas the full details now
Does this sound weird to anyone? It feels like a scam, but who knows. I guess if I get a certified cheque then it would be good money right?
Any insight?
Thanks guys.
it's a scam... the cashiers check will be fake. Back in the day I got ripped off 6 grand like this. But my bank assured me that the checks were real and then 4 months later let me know they were fake and held me responsible for the funds..... still haven't payed them. Bank one ftmfl
its a scam man. your going to be out a car and the remander of the money that you are to ship back to him. DON'T DO IT. honestly you would get more money from someone that gives you a 100 bucks that this guy . If I were you contact the cops cause the guy is prob. here in the US and makes his money by scaming people.

HA you're in the same boat as me man .... That email is almost word for word the same crap that was sent to me.
SCAM!!!!
I may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
Brutal ... I did a couple google searches and found tons of cases like this?
I did give him my cell phone number, anything he could do with that?
Here is my last email to him :
Listen. Don't waste my time. You want me to accept a check, wait for it to clear then send money to your "shipping agent". You got to be kidding right? You won't give me any contact information, you wont call beacuse of the cost? Come on, how professional is that? Sounds like scam too me, but nice try.
Since I won't need that cheque now, I guess you could crumple it up into a nice little ball and shove it straight up your ass, wait .. shove it up your "shipping agents" ass?
Please move onto the next sucker and quit wasting my @!#$ time with this bull@!#$ operation you having running.
I was born at night, but not last night.
Eat @!#$ @!#$.
Unbelivable that this stuff happens. A guy i worked with got burned by that Nigerian Email scam for $5000. He's a dumbass for doing it, his story was so far fenched I cannot belive he did it.
Anyways thanks guys, I knew there was something fishy about this.
Kardain, excellent finds man! I wish I knew about these scams better before I got all these scam emails.
