Here was my reply:


Oh I am so so sorry, I meant $8,000, and if I have to ship it, It will be $18,000, Have a nice day.

 

They are trying to get more identity information from you for some unkind reason. Do NOT give them any info on you no matter what.

i got a very similar response to a camaro i posted for $800. I gave him my address to send a cashier's check, he said he couldn't send a U.S. postal money order. his emails seemed odd, wouldn't tell me where he was located when I had asked a couple of times, and he wanted the car without asking any additional info about it. Here's the most recent email he sent me that seemed odd...

i want you to know that I have a client that is owing me sum of amount and he promise to pay in cashiers check and the sum is $2900.00 so you are to refund the remaining fund Via Western Union Money Transfer to my shipper who will carter for the shipment,so let me know if this can be possible so as for me to inform my client to foward the check to your name and address.I have made a solid arrangement for the shipping and they are to take care of the Document immediately after the transaction.

i also got one that was pretty much word for word the same as what PSYKOTA got.

 

Same here. I even contacted the shipper and they responded saying to just email them when I recieved the money from Cristian. What is up with this?

 

ol' cristian has been at it before , SCAM artist !that name has been mentioned in several threads here , let that one go and block the ip address.

 

What is his deal? What is he trying to accomplish with his e-mails?

 

Never mind I found out what his deal is. He sends you a check that is written from a fake account. You go cash it and send him the difference. He gets free money and the bank comes after you when they find out that it was a fake account.

 

He ALMOST got me too, I had the check for my Camaro I am selling, which he only sent $800, so I deposited it and went on my business, but he harrassed the heck out of me for 1 week telling me his wife was ill and in the hospital and needed the money for surgery, and to western union it back to him, Needless to say 2 HOURS before I was to send out the money Western Uninon, I checked with the bank to see that it came back unpaid. Just to let anyone on here know, DO NOT DO ANY TYPE OF BUSINESS WITH CRISTIAN CREMA.
