Got my L for sale. Guy writes me and asks if it is still for sale and I told him yes. He writes me again and asks my bottom price and again, I tell him. Then I get this email. Freakin scammers. I heard about this a while back, but it was setup diffrently. Look out.

Email I received:

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the reply and the acceptance,I have discussed with him and
he has agreed to pay $28,000 for the Ford and he has instructed me to
inform you that payment will get to you in a refund cashier check with
excess amount above the cost of your vehicle,and is a refund payment of a
cancelled order earlier made by my customer.
Due to the company that owes him policy this check has to be made out
in this amount owed to him in full to you ,because company policy only allows a
refund payment on one cashier check and all is $36,655 so you will be required
to deduct cost of your vehicle which is $28,000 when check payment gets to
you and refund the excess balance of $8,655 to him via money gram money
transfer or western union money transfer for him to be able to upset shipping
charges from there and pay up the agent coming to pick up the vehicle.
After payment has reached you and excess balance sent back to him,the
a! gent [Mr Roland Delveqio] will come pick up title papers and car keys
with other necessary documents thats goes with the vehicle and drive to a prepaid
shipper to be shipped to my customer,and he will take care of title papers car
keys and other necessary documets making sure they get to him, via fedex
courier. do confirm this so If you agree to assist in this capacity ,Will you
please send your contact address where my client should send the check , your name to be on check and telephone numbers ,i will instruct my client to send the
check by express priority mail to you.
Thank you and GOD bless
Bobby.
NB:The excess balance is for the agent air fee and the shipping charges
with insurance of the Ford to Eangland ok.

Same trick different day. Good thing you were wise to this. I wonder if you could have them send the counterfiet check and somehow have it traced?

Could you play along and let the FBI catch him? :)

One of the worst things is, is that he said, "GOD bless," talking about using His name in vain :nonono:

It isnt worth the time and money to investigate that crap. If someone is stupid enough to fall for that, it isnt my job to protect them from themselves!!!

People take the lords name is vain every second of every day. Not a Federal Crime either!

Now now....even the metally challenged citizens amoung us need uncle sammie to look out for us. Remember...if an IQ of 100 is the average....half of us only have a double digit IQ.

Eddy, I am proof that people with an IQ of 50 can be productive members of society.:p

But, I cant justify spending the kind of money or manpower to catch someone that has only offered to possible commit a crime.:uh oh:

Funny, I got a similar email last night for my mustang. I thought, why in the world would someone want to send me $6000 more than what I'm asking for it.

So, just to see, I wrote the guy back requesting he send me his phone # so I could call him. I never received and email back.

Expected.

When I was selling my 427 I got an e-mail just like that, different name, but same guy, he even had the "GOD BLESS" and everything. I accepted his offer but I knew nothing would ever come of it :rollseyes Eventually he said his wife got sick or something so he had to cancel the deal :rolleyes:

I have a similar kind of offer from a guy in London.. He wants to send a new Range Rover ($73650 MSRP) to what I think was Scotland...

He wants to send us a cashiers check for 99000 and we refund him the difference.

Rrriiiggghhhttt.... What a bunch of crap..

Oh, did I mention this is all through a Land Rover Dealership? You've gotta be pretty ballsy to try this with a company the size of Autonation... :D
