Yep, pretty common scam this one, happens almost whenever you list a car
for sale on the internet and you give your e-mail address. In the UK
they commonly claim to want to ship the car to Africa, which is where I
suspect most of these scams originate, particularly since the quality of
the English used is generally pretty poor.
I am frankly amazed ANYONE ever falls for this one, it just sounds so
unlikely that someone would pay so much over the odds for a second-hand
car that it is obviously a scam. But I guess someone must have fallen
for it sometime, or it wouldn't still be happening.
