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

[Joe Pizzimenti]

Some people are just too trusting, I suppose.

This guy tried to pull something similar when I was selling my S4.  He
wanted to buy the car for 16k, give me a check for 20k and come pick
up the car, give me the check and also pick up 4k in cash.

I thought about this for about 2 seconds before I told him to go bang
his sister.
