That is a spin off of the Nigerian scam, DO NOT BUY INTO IT.

Its a scam. Last time I put a car in the local paper, I got a "hearing impaired" phone call at 9:30 pm. He then emailed me and I told him to get a job. There is info on these sorts of scams. They send a bogus check, so after you cash the check then send the difference via western union, they have your cash, the check they sent you bounces and you are out whatever you sent. I think I have had offers like this 3 times. I often wonder how many people actually fall for it.
Email him back and tell him to send the money western union, or cash, you will never hear from him again.

First clue to a scam is the money order exceeds the selling price and send the change back :smash: That combined with the poor English 
Ya know I just can't help it, I want to mess with him, Anbody got any fun ideas? :spank:
Tell him that any amounts in excess of the selling price will be considered a gift and will be deposited to your account and the item will be available for shipping in 30 days.
Ask him for his phone number and tell him that it is imperative that you talk to him before any shipment is picked up. When he responds let him know you have turned the number over to the FBI and that you know all about his scam.larz said:Ya know I just help it, I want to mess with him, Anbody got any fun ideas? :spank:
Hey, I would tell him that it would be a great deal but have him send the money to you by Western Union, since that is what he wants you to do. They are all over the world so should not be to much of a problem. then you have a guaranty the money is in your hands. :thumbup:
