Absolutely. --It smells REALLY bad. Tell them to show up with cash, then you
can talk. Why should you be their banker?
...If you manage to cash the bad cheque, then he gets a car, plus cash, before
they come looking for you. Tell him to have his buddy cash the cheque, and
bring cash.

  Guys, friends, realists,
  My wife is selling her VW Polo and she received the email copied below. I
  say its a scam. The car version of the Nigerian oil ministers widow
  lineIll send you a zillion pounds if you send me a small sum to get
  things moving The small sum vanishes and the zillion never shows.

  Goodday Alexa Lachlan

    Thanks for the prompt mail, i'm o.k with the price.And for the shipping i
  will have to handle this myself  because i have a reputable shipper of my
  own that always handle my shipping,  i will offer you #2900.00 for the RED
  VW POLO, i will instruct
  a client of mine who is owing me the sum of  #5000 and he is ready to make
  payment to forward the cashier check to your location what you will do upon
  receipt of the check is to take it to a nearby cashing store or the nearest
  bank to you and get it cashed, after you might have done that you deduct
  your own selling price of #2900.00 and get the rest funds sent to my
shipper
  and mind you, it is this funds you will be sending to my shipper that will
  enable him to come for the pick up of the ( RED VW POLO} at your place and
  here are the charges he will be facing and they are the custom charges, the
  tarriff to be charge  on it and insurance cost so i hope you can get this
  rigth and if so then let me have your name to be written on check,
  your address with the postcode, and your phone number so that i can tell my
  client to forward payment to your location as soon as he can get things
  done.
  Thanks and i await your swift response.

    TAQUITA......

  UNQUTE
  I have persuaded her to reply and say that she wont deal with any shipper,
  that she wont accept a penny more or less than the sale price and that she
  wont releaser the car until the money is in the accountnot cleared, but
  in hand. But I reckon its all a waste of time and dont want to even
  correspond with Tarquita. (Tarquita Campbellstrange name? Or is it just
  me?)
  Hope you get a laugh out of this at least.
