payment is received by them.My shipper's who i have talked things over
with about the pick up says they will want you to make thing's snappy
and to make sure that you make all the important papers are in place to
avoid shipping delay.
My shipper's will email you as soon as you recieve the payment so
that they can give you thier contact address were you will be wiring the

Re: Does this sound fishy?

very fishy. its a scam. i would only accept cash in person or a money order for a deposit and cash for the rest.

lol when i was selling my car i got a "cashiers check" in the mail for 3000 (i was asking 800) i had never talked to the guy who sent it. so i called the bank and of coure it was a fake

Aaaaaaaaaaargh! NO NO NO! Don't do it! It's a scam!:22yikes:

Do not sell your car to ANYONE overseas who you don't know personally. My best friend just lost about $4,000.00 from a scam like this not 6 months ago. The "shipper" that the author of this scam refers to is likely non-existent. Cancel any checks or credit card payments that have been made to them right now!

The problem is that when they make off with whatever money you've given them, you often have little legal recourse since you're doing business beyond national borders. If you've given him any money so far and it was on credit card, call your bank, there may be something they can do about it, but don't count on it.

Do not respond to this guy until you've spoken to the authorities about this or have sought legal advice from an attorney or someone who specializes in this type of busniess. Chances are, if this is a real scam, they'll recognize it right away and report it to the proper authorities in the his home country.

Re: Does this sound fishy?

my cousin actually got a check from one of those fools. its a counterfitted check scam. the checks will have real routing numbers and all... its just counterfit and if you cash it your accountable for the 8k when they find it. see if you forward the other money then they cant track it down and your out a few grand!
