[s-cars] Interesting email on my RS2 Parts for sale

[Andrew.Jackson at bmo.com]

I've always wondered how people get taken by these scams.
Don't they wait for the cheques to clear before sending parts/$$?

Or is that the problem?  Cheques clear, then bank comes back later and says
"oops!"?

Sorry for the OT, I'm just curious.

 Received an email the other day from a guy who said he wanted the parts
 and
 asked again how much they were.  Also asked about their condition.  In my
 Audifans listing all the info is in there.  So I reiterated the same in an
 email to him.  This is his reply:

 "Thanks so much for your concern in this transaction.also i want you to
 know
 that
 i'm o.k
 with the price.so i want you to know that i gave my client a call
 immediately i
 got your mail about the check to be issued and send to you and he said he
 shall
 be sending the check to you but i told him to send you the check of $6,000
 and
 all this is because i want you to forward the excess fund to my shipping
 agent
 to which will come for the cater pick-up of the(RS2 Parts) so i want you
 to
 please kindly make the funds send to them immediately youreceived the
 payment
 (check)so if you are o.k with this i want you to please kindly reply this
 mail
 and gave me you full name,address and cell phone number to which my client
 will
 be forwarding the check to..Hope to hear from you on time...
 john..."

 Hmmm   does something stink here?  Why yes I think it does.
