I'm sure we have heard several stories about the oversea's scam. Well I'd like to thank this Forum for helping me out with posting valuable information on this subject. Here is my reply to the last scam artist. Sorry I'll clean it up before I post.

Dear Kevin,
To let you know I will keep a copy of this email and post it on all of my Truck forums to warn seller of this Scam. This is the second time someone like you has tried to steal from an honest American of his hard earned money. So stay away and tell all your Thiefs Friends to stay clear of me YOU'RE F@*kING WITH THE WRONG MARINE MY FRIEND!!!

Dear sir,
I am an international business man, specialised in
dealing,purchasing and selling of AUTOS.I also help my foreign client to
ship their autos to any place of their desired country or destination, most
especially EUROPE, cause i have a shipper who takes care of the shipment, so
shipping will not pose any problem.

Presently i have a client who has asked me to help him purchase
the item subjected above which will be shipped to EUROPE. As i was browsing
through the internet, i saw your advert and i will like to purchase it for
my client, but before payment will be made i need to be sure of who i will
be dealing with if you are going to be honest and sincere throughout the
transaction.

So to start with, signify your interest by forwarding to me
your last (PRICE) as well as your method(s) of payment through mail, after
which we can continue with the transaction and i promise if all conditions
and agreement are accepted and reached on time, payment will be made out
almost immediately.

Hoping to here from you as soon as possible.

Respectfully,

KEVIN-WRIGHT.

That is funny...at least he is using proper English (my scam artist didn't use proper English).

Long story short... I was selling a late model Land Rover and one of these sh*t heads tried to scam me with an international buy.

He tried the whole "my client has a cashiers check for over the asking price so please cash the check and wire me the difference".

What a joke.

I work on the same floor as Secret Service and I stopped by when I received the fake looking check and they told me to shred the check and forget about it.

He told me that this scam is based out of a country in Africa (can't remember which one. I want to say Senegal, but I could be wrong) that they have zero help from that country's government in trying to prosecute these types of scams.

This whole thing makes me laugh.
