Car buying scam???

["Bar00n" <baroon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The way that scam works is that they send you too much money in a check,
then you wire the excess back to them (around $2-3K) and then a couple of
weeks later (when you're out of your car and money) you find out that the
check they sent was counterfeit. That way you lost the $2-3K you wired them
and the car you sold.

I always thought it would be cool to tease these guys, take the check, go to
the bank and string them along until the bank denies it (or even before) and
then let them know that it's found to be counterfeit and that the FBI
expressed an interest in talking to the buyer. hehehee

Then again, I don't think it's a good idea to screw around with people like
that.

Someone has found one of my ads and agreed to buy the car.  He lives in
Tunisia and supposedly is owed money by a friend in the US.
