RE: [Chrysler300] Scam????

[<john_nowosacki@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Funny how this guy wants to send you a check, but wants his 'friend' to be sent real money via Western Union.
I'd reply stipulating that you want HIM to use the same Western Union money transfer method for the $16K that he wants you to use for sending 'the balance' to his friend to cover shipping.  You'll probably not hear back from him.

Hey George

This is the typical scam; it was tried on me a couple of years ago.  I
received a cashiers check from an obscure US bank and it wasn't real.  I
simply waited for the guy to call me back when I didn't send any money to
his "friend."  

One good way to be sure if it is real or not is to accept their offer,
receive their check and wait a month until the check clears.  Insist on a
check from a US bank.  With the new "Check 21", which is the new bank
technology for the 21st Century, one of the benefits is that checks clear
much faster.

My bet, however, is that it is a scam.

Tom

Hello All....
I just received the following message relating to my 300H
coupe that is forsale for $12,500. I may be mistaken, but it
looks like the old scam is back in use again..... What do
you think??
Thanks
George

Hello,
Please,I need it seriously.I can even add extra money to
consider it sold to me and forget about welcoming other
potential buyers.I am buying it for my father who spotted it
on the net and he has insisted I buy it for him by all
means.But am from Sweden and associate of mine will surely
help me out to post a cashier check of $16,000 to you
whereby you will deduct your own cost and help me to
transfer the remaing funds to my shipper via western union
money transfer to enable them come to your doorstep for
shipment.
Kindly let me know if this is okay by you and email your
phone number as soon as this e-mail is seen. You will
receive the payment soonest.Thanks.
Regards
