And yet another scammer
I got these Emails about my bumper I have posted:
HELLO,
I SAW YOUR ADVERT AND I AM REALY INSTRESTED IN YOUR Camaro RS bumper cover
PLEASE MAIL ME ASAP IF IT IS STILL AVAILABLE TO ENABLE ME MAKE NECESSARY
ARRANGEMENT FOR PAYMENTS AND PICK-UP SOONEST BEFORE SOMEBODY BEATS ME TO
IT.KINDLY LET ME KNOW THE LEAST AMOUNT FOR IT .I WOULD BE GREATFUL IF YOU TREAT
THIS MESSAGE WITH URGENCY I REQUIRE.THANKS YOU VERY MUCH HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU
SOON.
MY REGARDS.
And this reply:
Hi,
Thanks for the mail,i am still interested in your bumper cover.I actually just got transfered like two weeks ago from the states along with my whole family.As long as the bumper cover is still in good condition am ready to buy from you,because i cant get anywhere good enough to get a nice one here.
Concerning the payment,here's what i will do:i have a client back home owing me a sum of $3500,but due to some circumstances i couldnt get it before i was transferd down here.I will ask him to make out a cashiers cheque to you in that amount and as soon as it clears,you can send me the balance via western union or to my shipper who would be bringing part of my other belongings.
Concerning the shipping,you dont have to bother about that my shipper would be responsible for the pickup at your location.I have spoken to them and they have agreed for pick up as soon as we have concluded our own part of the agreement.
The reason why i am asking my client to i ssue you a Cashier's cheque is because if i send it from over here it might take ages to reach you but sending one from over in the US will take about 2 or 3days to clear.Please if this offer is cool with you and you are still interested in selling to me,i would need you to provide me with the name you want to appear on the cheque,your address and a phone number for contact purpose.
I sincerely hope i can trust you with my balance moreso the item,as the value of the cheque i will be sending you is more than the value of the bumper cover,Although this aint the fist time i am doing an overseas transaction so i will be trusting you.
Thanks and hope to hear from you soonest,
stay blessed

I never heard back from him since I told him it "sounds like a scam, no deal"! This is about the 5th one of these I've got trying to sell parts on this board. They seem to watch this one the most for some reason

I have my drumset up for sale and got an email from some guy in the UK saying the same thing, so I emailed him back asking when he thinks he'll be arrested for his scam, lol. Haven't heard back from him yet for some reason.
