I just wanted to let everyone know about a scam that i was just involved in. I placed parts for sale and he responded quickly with the email address of adauto_cars@yahoo.co.uk. He subsequently sent me a grossly over issued check. i wanted $500, he sent me $2500. Below is the initial contact email he sent me. I found the same email on other boards claiming him as fraud. Be warned! I hope noone else will get involved with this scam. Here are the other links that i found implicating him:

Hello

I am interested in buying the 5.0 block w/ F303 cam & lifters that you have placed for sell now, and I would want to enquire about the present condition of the above mentioned, as well as some detail about you. I expect this promptly.

As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last offering price as I will be paying with a cashiers cheque.

Lastly, please forward to me your full company's (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through these facilities.

Yours interestingly,

Raymond Griffiths.
