I am selling a car for $24,000. This is the offer I received. What do you think?
------
" I have forwarded your vehicle information to my client and after evaluation and due to time constraint on the fact that we are running short of time. I'm delighted to tell you that my client has recommended your vehicle, with full interest and he has instructed me to carry on with his transaction,he hopes the engine is serviced and oil changed too .He cant wait to see the car parked in his garage.
However,My client made out a certified cashiers check of($33,000) before he travelled to germany for death of his daughter ,for a previous car and its shipment charges etc,but it was unfortunately sold.The amount on the check he deposited for the car is bigger than what should be paid to you now, so the check is now meant for the total expenses which includes the purchase of your car,the pick up of the car from its present location and the shipping charges/other necessary shipping arrangements. However he has instructed us to carry on with this transaction. So you're required to deduct the cost of your car ($24,000)and send the balance of($9,000) to the Agent ( our shipper ) for him to be able to offset shipping & tax charges, and other cosmetic repair costs.After payment has reached you and balance sent to shipper, the shipper's agent will come for inspection, pick up (of vehicle & signing of title papers), make some cosmetic touches and drive to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer.and also conclude other necessary shipping arrangements.so you dont have to bother yourself about the pick up and shipping arrangements.
Please Confirm this and provide name,address and phone number for check payment to be delivered to you via fedex courier .
Thanks and God bless.
Regards,
FRIEDEL PARKER

this is a scam one of my soldiers got this same email when she sold a car to some one in the states while she was in Germany, they will tell you after they send the check to that the want you to send the difference back to them as they have found another way to get it transported, and then the check they sent you will bounce bigger than ****, and you will be stuck with paying the whole 33,000 $ back to the bank.

Well I certainly would not be sending any-one a check for $9,000.00 ANYTIME SOON. If you think the buyer is for real. Tell his agent that you will deposit the 33,000.00
When your bank assures you that the funds have cleared then feel free to write a check for the miscellaneous expenses. If they are unwilling then tell them to go pound salt.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, Guess what?
It is probably a duck
