Do a search for the other 900 posts on this topic...it has been posted alot lately so you might find some suggestions there

 

$5,000 US would probably buy alot of guns in that country.. Theres not alot of people there that want to spend that kind of $$$ on a car. Alot of them can barely find food. This dudes full of shit. Delete it....

 

You should report this

 

Dont Do It!!!

Want the short version? They pay with a dud check or they cancell the check after the fund have cleared...you send them the "change" but when the bank finds out... they make you pay back the whole amount.

You can really have fun with them though... when i was selling my dodge pickup I had millions of these offers. Just email them back and string them along for aslong as you can. Get them to do wacky shit and post you the pics. Then when your sick of it, just tell them your not in the mood to be ripped off. Of better still get there postal address for some "correspondance" and send the details to the FBI.
