Default GUYS CHECK THIS OUT!

Now I getting worried. Look who e-mailed me about my Camaro!

"Dear Sir,

I am Base in Norway.An auto dealer,And I am interested
in your Vehicle, I want to know if you ship to
Norway?. if not,it can be arrange by my shipping
agent,Please give me the total cost of buying only and
I will instruct my client to pick the it up from its
location as soon as the cheque is cleared.Which means
the shipping is my responsibility.

I want to know if you accept a casher's cheque drawn
in an American Bank.If that is okay by you,then get
back to me as soon as possible because I need it
urgently.
If interested you can as well reach me as soon as
possible with your full names, contact address and
telephone number.

Regards,
Curtis Morgan."

Is this the scam that lurks around the websites? I just thought I would share.

Don't even reply. If they find that there is someone responding, they log the info and seel it. Not only do they try and scam for money, they sell the infor to people looking to commit identity theft. That is what has been published onother sites anyway.

I would be very careful! Also be leary of taking CASH! we had a guy here locally that sold a car and took cash and then went to the bank only to find out it was all counterfit currency!He is still working on it with the Secret Service to get this guy in custody and try to get his car back.I do not know what this old world is coming to with soo many crooked people out there.I would be very very careful!Just be careful and do not become another victim to the crooked people out there.I personally would contact my banker to see what is the best way to do this to keep from getting ripped off.Then contact the buyer to see if he can do as your bank represenative wants it to be done.If the buyer can not do that I would PASS ON THE SALE TO THIS PERSON!

Have him send you a check....Just make sure the check is real and that it clears before you even tell him where the car is. Let your bank know you are worried about the check and they will verify it for you.

Dan,

As a person in the financial biz.....I would advise you proceed with the greatest of caution. The note you rec'd has urgent written all over it. WARNING! When has any car deal you have ever been involved with had to be done by a specific time? Not to mention, be very careful as far as wire transfers are concerned, they are one THE easiest ways to launder money and that is something nobody wants to be caught up in. If I can be of any assistance or answer any questions, please feel free to PM me.
