A few weeks ago I posted my truck for sale in the AutoTrader. On Tuesday, I hear from this guy in Russia and smell a scam. Just for fun, I post back telling him I'm interested. This is an old scam that has been going around for some time. Enjoy folks, here was his reply today.

HI STEWART,

After the Excutvie meeting today,We concluded with our client and he has instructed to carry on with the transaction,he said that I should inform you that payment will get to you in a cashier check of $12,410. which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by my
client. because of his delay and lateness of in reply.
Due to company policy this check has to be made out in this amount to you ,because company policy only allows a refund payment on one cashier check,so you are required to deduct cost of your (CAR) $7,370 when payment gets to you and refund balance $5,040 to my customer via western union money transfer or money gram transfer for him to be able to offset
shipping charges.

After payment has reached you and balance sent back to him, our agent will come for the pick up and drive to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer, while title papers and other necessary documents will be sent by you via fedex courier to my customer. With this we can send the payment to you. Please Confirm this very important by providing your = NAME, ADDRESS and PHONE number for check payment to be delivered to you via fedex courier.

Thanks for understanding. REPLY ASAP
