Has happened to us on more than one occasion, personally I chose to stay clear, can't see anything good coming of it. Some people have nothing better to do with their time :bash:

I just emailed him back and said that a guy offered me $1500 for it. I gave him a chance to counter offer. Should be fun to see what he writes back.

Keep it up and I'm sure you can lead him into six-figures!! My concern was someone learning a little too much personal information about me.

I have also gotten this many of times for my boat and quad. I actually got one for a camaro that i wasn't even selling. I was selling K&N air filter for one. Wanted to give like $20 G i emailed back and said if you send money can only promice that you will get air filter not sure about rest of car. never heard back.
My dad just showed me an article in his classic boat mag. same thing happened to this guy. But he sent to FBI. If anybody interested in that address to try to get these people out of here. i'll try to post it monday.
