hey guys i posted an ad for a 90 coupe roller a few weeks ago. A guy claims he is from the uk and he wants the car he says he is sending a money order for 5000.00 even though i only want 1000.00 for the car. He says its a mistake and for me to pay the company that is gonna pick the car up. Has anyone else got something like this? it seems funny. he wont pm me and i gave him my phone number and he wont call me. Also just now someone else from the uk just e-mailed me and asked about the car he says its for his boss and he is interested. they both want my address and stuff like that is this a scam?

That is a SCAM!

My 'brother-in-law' got one just like that for the SHO.

DO NOT DO IT!

Say, sure, but just let me let the F.B.I know first

"Good day to you seller!

I am interested in the immediatly purchases of your above listed item/s for sale.

Looking forward for your prompt response to my questioned.

Please kindly get back to me quickly!"



I always email them back with something like this:

"Good day ****tard

You are a piece of garbage, please go kindly screw yourself quickly!"


Cracks me up every time, I can't believe anyone actually falls for those, but some people do I guess or else they would quit trying.
