Car: 89 Camaro RS Engine: 86 Monty 305 .030 over Transmission: 700R4 | Question... I have been talking to this guy for the past few days about selling my car... i have made it very very clear that i am going to wait for his check to clear before i send any money out to any shipper or anything like that. He says that's fine this and that... so when he sends "payment" to me, how do i make sure that this is not a phony check? or something like that?? adam smith <smithkline7@yahoo.ca> that is his information anyone heard anything about this guy?
If anyone who is real good at this "scam detecting" thing can u please IM me on AIM at Little Muir i just wanna make sure that i dont get arrested for possession of false M.O.'s or anything like that seeing how i'm on probation and i'm all set with a scam putting me back in jail....
The thing is i'm asking 1700$ for my car and this guy says 1700 is fine, and he'd be looking up how much shipping is... this way he will just include it in the check and after i let the check CLEAR! his shipper will recieve the money... how do i safeguard myself from being ****ed over??

Car: '89 rs convertible Engine: wimpy 305 tbi Transmission: wimpy 700r4 auto | Word of advice : drop these clowns like hot rocks. I have inside news that I can't disclose a lot of but you do not want to have checks sent to you , especially from Nigeria. Let's just say somebody in the federal gov't is now taking notice and there is some action being taken .These overseas shippers are totally fake. Even if the check clears , it can still come back later as fake. Tell them you will ONLY accept a Western Union payment , nothing else. I guarantee you'll never hear from them again. |

Wow glad I read this! He says that he is sending a "cheque" for 7000 and the sale price was only 2000. Should I send the check to law enforcement when I get it? Thanks everyone for posting and saving me a lot of trouble.
here is the email:--- tony thomos wrote:

Car: 85 Camaro Engine: 305 LG4 Transmission: TH700 R4 Axle/Gears: 3.08 drum | they all sound the same, i had one a while back when i was tryin to sell a camaro. they usually don't seem too interested in details about the item, which is odd when your shopping for a car, muchless long distance? you won't see these people come look at a car, or any kind of delivery service. and would you send someone more money than the asking price of something you wanted to buy and ask for some of it back? just doesn't make sense. they also seem to use very common names and unusual email services, probably because they have to create so many aliases. |

I also read that you can call the postal inspector (not sure local or federal) but call and ask if the M.O. you got is valid or not

Car: Red Rooster Engine: 305 TPI Transmission: M5 | Today i received two more emails and both of them mention London, UK.. These scam artists are starting to piss me off. Here is what he wrote:
Thanks for the email.I am glad to know the Car is still for sale and in good condition. I have seen the pics and want us
to proceed.
Your price is fine with me So, I need you to remove
the ad
from the web... at the
moment am on vacation to London, UK.
Regarding payment I will instruct my Personal
Assistant to issue a check of $17000 as payment.
This amount is more than your price, so as you get it,
you are to deduct your money and send the rest to my
shipping agent via western union. The shipping fee is
high though, cause there are other items that will be
shipped along.
This is his fees to come pick up from your
location and he will come as soon as he has the funds.
So I will need your information to issue and mail the
check payment to you as soon as possible.:
FULL NAME................
STREET...................
CITY.................
STATE................
ZIP CODE............
PHONE NUMBER...............
Try to get the Title and Bill of sale ready ;Will be
waiting for your favourable reply .
Write back soon so we can proceed.
Fred Jones.
His email: wrt1fred@yahoo.com
and another James Bond has contacted me with this text:
Sorry for the late response,actually,am buying the car for a client of mine who is based in the uk.so,what you will do for me m now is send more pics of the car to me,so that i can i forward them to my client,also,approximate the money in us dollars and tell me your mode of payment.
Bryan.
and his email is: bryan_manaman@yahoo.com
