it`s a scam. been going around for quite some time.

What is the scam of it? if you give them an address that is not where the Bronc is, wait untill the $ are cleared. I don't understand where the scam is?

Total scam. Here's how it works:

They send you a cashiers check for the sale amount plus extra to pay their friend for shipping (or customs or processing, etc.). So say you're selling for $7,000. They'll send you a cashiers check for $10,000. They send you the check. You cash it and wait a couple days for it to clear. The friend comes and picks up the truck and the extra $3,000 for shipping. A week later your bank calls and says, "Oops, the check was a fraud and didn't actually clear. Sorry!" They pull the money back out of your account.

Doh!!! You're now out 1 truck and $3,000.

Well then have fun with these guys, tell them to send the check to their "handler" and have the handler bring cash!

did you have it listed for sale?

So if you know it is a scam why don't you do it with involvement of the police deptartment, and they can participate in the vehicle exchange.

Nope, this was just an e-mail that made it through my junk mail filters. I thought it was strange and realized it was a scam. It seems to be a autogenerated mail so I doubt getting the police involved would do anything.

they tried to do that to with friends yukon, they were based in nigeria

 

[ransil]

Give them an address of the police station or local crack house.
