NashSS Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 I recieved this email about someone wanting info on my truck so I sent them general info no vin or anything like that or my info. I then recieved this email back tonight and I feel extremly uncomfortable with this. Something just doesn't feel right. I need your guys help please. Greetings..... Thanks for your response,after evaluation of the vehicle and due to time constraint,I am happy to inform you that I have concluded arrangements with my client and he was very happy with the condition of your car and he has issued a cashier check of ($25,500) which now covers the whole expenses of the purchase of your vehicle, tax, pickup of the vehicle from its location and shipping charges or any shipping arrangements together with the money that will come to me as interest for my effort, he also told me that he will proceeding for his annual leave and will like this transaction to be over before he will go on leave, so When you receive check payment, you are expected to deduct the cost of your vehicle which is ($19,000) and send the remaining balance of ($6,500) to the agent (shipper) for h im to be able to offset s hipping & tax charges. After payment has reached you and balance sent to shipper, the shipper's agent will come for inspection, pick up (of vehicle & signing of title papers) and drive to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my (client) and also conclude other necessary shipping arrangements. So you don't have to bother yourself about the pick up and shipping arrangements. Please confirm the above and provide your payment information for your payment to be delivered to you via courier service. Please provide the following: 1-LEGAL NAME IN FULL.............. 2. CONTACT ADDRESS..................... 3. PHONE NUMBER(S)........................... I will be expecting your mail with full payment information so that we can proceed. Thanks And God Bless, Michael Nollan 96 Waterloo Rd Southport Meyerside PRS 3AY. England Quote
fox_forma Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 dont even bother with it, just a shitty scam that they been pulling for years. Brush it off and just dont respond, or can respond and say something like "Thank you for your interest but I dont sell to scammers, your IP has been included to an email I sent to the FBI just for reference" or some crap like that, you'll never hear back from them Quote
SSThunder Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 sounds like a scam to me Don't really know though. Can the cashier check me confirmed before any cash is paid to the shipper? Quote

CenWaSS Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 That very thing happened to a buddy of mine. When he received the check, he and I went to the bank and had it verified. Turns out it was a bogus check, we turned it into the local police station and my buddy emailed the sender back telling them what we did...never heard from them again. Quote
