Tim,
Thanks for the detailed information provided on the purchase of your vehicle am happy my client has agreed to purchase your vehicle at $16,000.Hope the vehicle is oil changed ,serviced and ready to go,i have just spoken with the customer not long ago regarding payment and pickup arrangements ,He explained that there is no much time left considering the purpose of the vehicle . 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?

 

have you ever actually talked to him on the phone? i think it sounds a lil shady.

 

Sounds exactly like a fraud. Unless the guy comes to your house and you see his real ID then don't even waste your time cause the check will probably bounce or something.

I think its a fraud.

 

It is fraud. Its a scam that has been going around for a while now. I recieived emails like this on the last two cars I've sold. I've also read about other people running into the same thing. The cashiers check is counterfit. Good luck with the sale bro...

kinda like them pyramid schemes

 

This is a total scam.they tried me when I sold my bike and mt fox body.The checcks are real ..Just stolen..They look legit until you try to cash them..Whenever I get these emails I reply "YOU FUCKING SCAMMER DO YOU THINK I AM STUPID ENOUGH TO FALL FOR THIS SHIT.I HAVE FORWARDED THID TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR REVIEW"
Never hear from them again..

 

you would think if it was a scam, then they would be smart.

if they were smart, wouldn't they use correct grammar and punctuation and such?

either way, goodluck with the sale tim

 

blah i really think its a scam. It halfway had my hopes up because Iwant the car gone
