Funny email.
Hello
I am an auto dealer based in Turkey and i saw this your injectors on the net and would want to confirm if its still up for sale and what is your final asking price? Also indicate if a cashiers check would be fine as payment. Get back to me ASAP, Pleasure doing business with you, Paul Wilson. Obviously a scam, should i fuck with hiM? I already sent an email back telling him my final asking price was $1300 shipped. Lets see what he has to say. |

Dude, he might send you a bogus cashier's check, I heard of this having happened recently... You get the check from him for whatever you end up charging him, shipped of course. BEFORE you ship anything, you go to the bank with the check IN PERSON, and talk to one of the representatives in person, let them know what the deal it; the cashiers check is payment for an online purchase and you wanna make sure it isn't bullshit before getting jerked.
Someone on a mailing list almost got jerked on a cashier's check from outside of the immediate area. Guy sent him one for way too much money to pay for a car he was buying from him, he pays off the car with the check and is about to send the guy a legit cashier's check for the change, or give it to him when he came to pick up the car, then he got wary about it and asked around, which led to his questioning this with the bank to realize that the check was bullshit. Luckily, he did this before being out a car AND cash on the deal, don't be a victim dude.

Just got another email.Definatly a scam lol
Hello Kevin, Thanks for the mail and I will really love to get the injectors from you. So please i want you to remove that injectors from further advert placement in the internet. The price $600 is very much okay by me for the injectors and as regards shipping of the injectors, I have a shipping agent who normally takes care of all my shipping consignments So do not worry yourself about that I will take care of that myself. Nevertheless, My creditor in the United State of America is actually going to be responsible for the payment for the injectors and I have told him about this transaction and he said he will be sending the payment to you also he said the money I loaned to him has incured some interests and he will be sending my money to you with the commission. Meaning you will be expecting a payment that is a little bit higher than t he cost of the injectors. Please after the cost of the injectors! Can I Trust You to refund my balance funds back to my shipping agent who will be coming for the pick up of the injectors? do let me know this because its very important. Please if this arrangement is okay by you! kindly send to me your Full Name and Address so that the payment can be made to you next week. Also include your phone number so that i can give you a call to discuss in details. Also remember to include this pics of the injectors in your next mail both the pic for the interior of the injectors and do keep the title document and every other relevant papers of the injectors set and intact for the shipping agent who is coming for the pick up of the injectors. Have a nice day and thanks once again for your response to my mail. Get back to me ASAP, Best Regards, Paul Wilson. |

That is the EXACT same scam, they pass off a very real LOOKING cashier's check, that happens to be bullshit, you take it to the bank, it looks real enough to them to deposit, you give dude the injectors AND his change off of the check that is over the amount you're asking. Then the check bounces because it's going against a bullshit account, you are assed out, screwed on the amount of the check, the amount of money you gave him back and out of your injectors. Tell this dude that you have no problem dealing with him, but you will HAVE to check with your bank to make sure the check isn't bogus before he get's your merchandise. Give him your real name and address, or if you must give a fake one, give one where you will at least get the check. You then verify validity, then you make change, then you give his "shipping agent" the shit once you are sure you've been properly compensated.

like Ive said before, if payment and shipping instructions are more than a paragraph (IE: i will paypal you and then u will send to my address, or I will send check and in three days after it clears you will send product) ITS A FUCKING SCAM, and its also no different with overseas transactions. Ive dealt with tons of overseas people when I used to sell z32 mafs and its the same. there are no god damn agents involved.

... I, being a black man, couldn't do this. The cop'd come and drag MY ass off to jail, refusing to hear that I was the one who called them. "OPEN AND SHUT CASE JOHNSON, HE'S HERE ALREADY!!!"
