I emailed this guy back and forth a few times and i thought something was fishy, i just got this one this morning and its deffintetly a scam!! everyone look out on craigslist!!!


Thanks very much for your mail.The price of the 2001 MX is okay with you as long as the condition is perfectly alright.

I will be compensating you with additional $50 if you consider the 2001 MX sold to me.As for the shipping,I already have a shipping agent that will be coming for the 2001 MX pick up as soon as the transaction is sealed.

Moreso my method of payment is with a cashier's cheque that is drawn from a United state Bank and this is how payment will be made for now:a client of mine in U.s is owing me a sum of $5,500 who I will instruct to issue out the cheque in your Name.Although the cheque is more than the value of your 2001 MX but I 'm willing to trust you with the rest of the Money.

As soon as you received the cheque and it clears your Bank,then you will deduct the cost of your 2001 MX ,compensation fees and any tax incurred while the remaining balance will be send to my Shipping Agent via Western union money transfer for immediate pick up arrangement.

If this is okay with you do get back to me with your Name in full,contact address and phone number so I can instruct my client to issue out the cheque in your Name ASAP.

I look forward to your response .

Thanks and Best regard,
