Use a fake name and send it to a PO box, take the money and run.

Sounds like a variation of the "Nigerian Scam" only with a car.

Cash in hand talks. Anything else walks. I'm not sending any kind of refund
until Long after a *money order* clears, and I don't send back any personal info dealing with my bank account number.- Bob

His debtor company already took more than enough time to release his refund.
He has instructed me to inform you that payment will get to you in a cashier check of $23,500 payment made out to cover the expense of the shipper who will be shipping the vehicle, So you are required to deduct the cost of your vehicle $16,000 when payment is received and send balance of $7,500 to the shippers for him to be able to offset shipping & tax charges, and other cosmetic repair costs.
Upon receiving your payment and balance sent down to the shipper immediately the shipper's agent w ill come for inspection and pick up (of vehicle & signing of title papers), some cosmetic touches and drive to the prepaid shipper .Confirm this and forward your LEGAL NAMES, ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER for payment to be made out. Please get back to me within fews hours of receiving my mail to confirm this.I await your response with the required information for payment delivery asap.
Thanks in anticipation of your understanding.
Kind Regards,
Geraldine.


that is exact email i just recieved about my mustang... I have heard of alot of frauds sounding similar, what do you guys think?

This is a good laugh if you have time to read thru it.

Short of it: Nigerian scammer gets scammed into getting a tatoo.
