This one is excellent, inside and out. The bright work on the engine is a work of art.

Ewe Mgbada to me
More options 5:09 am (12 hours ago)

Hello Sir,

I have forwarded your car informations to my client and after evaluation and due to time constraint on the fact that we are running short of time. I'm delighted to tell you that my client has accepted to buy your car for the price, with full interest and he has instructed me to carry on with this transaction, Hope the engine and body are in perfect condition? He also instructed me to inform you that payment will get to you in a cashier check of $11,000 which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by my client. Due to company policy this check has to be made out in this amount to you, Because company policy only allows a refund payment on one cashier cheque. So you are required to deduct the cost of your car $3,500 when payment gets to you and refund balance $7,500 to the Agent ( our shipper ) for him to be able to offset shipping & tax charges, and other cosmetic repair costs. After payment has reached you and balance sent to shipper, the shipper's agent will come for inspection, pick up (of your car & signing of title papers), make some cosmetic touches and move to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer. Please confirm this and forward the following informations;

Names:
Address:
Phone number:

For payment to be made and send to you as soon as possible. Your honesty,
understanding and co-operation will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

I wonder if your local police or the FBI will help you catch this guy?? Do a google search for "internet fraud" or "electronic fraud" and see what you can find.

BTW - Your car sounds like a good one, best of luck, I hope you find an honest buyer!

I had a similiar ordeal. I did get a bunch of emails when i was selling my mercedes. They wanted to pay with money orders and mail them to me and give up the title. But i used a different address and kept messing with them by email. It is just a scam with empty promises. Nothing better to do than to mess wtih people.
