Thanks for your response. I'm happy to inform you that I have concluded with my uncle (client) Pastor Silas Manny and he has asked me to proceed with the transaction.However,
My client made out a certified cashiers check of($8,400) which now covers the whole expenses of the purchase of your bike, tax ,pickup of the bike from it location and shipping charges or any shipping arrangements.
He also told me that he will be traveling to the POLAND today for an important Evangelical conffrence.when you receive check payment, you are expected to deduct the cost of your bike which is ($5,400) and send the remaining balance of ($4,000) to the agent ( shipper) for him to be able to offset shipping & tax charges. After payment has reached you and balance sent to shipper, the shipper's agent will come for inspection, pick up (of bike & signing of title papers) and drive to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my uncle(client) and also conclude other necessary shipping arrangements. so you dont have to bother yourself about the pick up and shipping arrangements.
Please confirm the above and provide your payment information for your payment to be delivered to you via courier service.
Please provide the following:
1-LEGAL NAME IN FULL..............
2.CONTACT ADDRESS.....................
3.PHONE NUMBER(S)...........................
I will be expecting your mail with full payment information so that we can proceed.
Thanks And God Bless,
Needless to say, by the second email I was beginning to get the feeling that this was a scam. By the third email it was confirmed. Feel free to email the douche bag and threaten his scamming ***. :lol: :thumbsup:
If you ever try to sell your quad and you get emails that seem suspicious.. Use your judgement.
