Yeah i had a scam couple years ago dud would give me a 4k dollar cashiers check for my 1974 monte carlo bomber car id get it in the mail and the guy would be there ina freightliner to pic it up in 3 days lol. I gave the address and pretended to go along with it how ever i moved the race car to my grannys the guy did come and had 4 other dirt cars on the trailer. Guess there really is some stupid arses out there anyhow i told him when i get cash in hand you will get the money so he said ill give 200.00down for that delt ayou got ther so i said ok tgimmi the 200.00 and you can have the delta. I didnt care the delta was givin to me by a local track it wasa demo car tht never got hit lol. so i made 200.00 but never saw the 4k dollar cashiers check.

[bent]

I found out by an e-mail sent to me a few weeks later that it was a scam to not accept the deal apperently this guy had sold his entire late model setup for what was supposed to be 50k when he went to cash the check manageer said hang on just a min and to make a long storie short he was arrested and put in jail for two weeks and never say the race team or

This is known in Internet security forums as Nigerian 419 scam. There many different flavours of this garbage. But they all very similar - bait, hook and sinker.
