Aaron:
Most likely you have run into the "Nigerian Scam". The buyer usually says
he is acting as an agent for some wealthy buyer or collector. Then when
payment time comes he will say he has a check from this buyer from a
previous car sale that fell through. The check will be for several thousand
more than your price. He will ask for you to send the difference between
your price and the check amount. Then after you have sent the money, his
check will bounce, and you will be out of pocket for the money sent.
Do not monkey with them. They are international gangsters. People have
been killed.
A somwhat off-color descriptive site about it is found here:
