thanks for the patience.However, am happy to tell you that we have concluded with our
client and he has instructed to carry on with his
check, that means that payment will get to you in a
cashier check of $8000 which is a refund payment
of a cancelled order earlier made by my client.
So you are
required to deduct cost of your car $6000 when
payment gets to you and refund balance $2000
(after deducting western union charges ) to my
customer via western union money transfer for him to
be able to offset shipping charges down here.
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 documets will be handed
over to my agent during pick up.
Please Confirm this and provide name,address and phone
number for check payment to be delivered to you via
fedex courier.
I hope you can be trusted with such amount of money .
Thanks

Im almost insulted that this guy thinks that I will fall for this. The question is now should I accept this guys offer and sit on the check until im 110% sure that its legit and not a fraud or just send him a colorful e-mail telling him what I really think and then report this, if there is anyone to report this too.
Decisions decisions.

My all time favorite is the "I am the [queen or prince] of the slain African king of Somewherezuland, and I need to escape to the US. Because of your reputation for being honest and fair we have picked YOU out of all people in the land to help me. Please send me your bank account number so I can deposit $789 bajillion dollars in the account. After I have reached the USA you will get to keep 10% for your efforts."

Sure..........

I must get about 3-4 of those per month these days.
