This guy has been emailing me all week on my Lincoln :

Hi back Joe,

I understand what you mean and are wondering about the way of payment I suggested.
I may have not expressed my thoughts correctly. Sorry.

Practice to pay with a check I have allready applied is usually the following since I am working with an agent acting for me with my funds :
So he is always finding a safe shared solution for seller and buyer.

1. I send money to my agent,
2. My agent prepares a certified bank check for you as it is easier for him since money will be paid in the Usa,
3. You receive in advance a fax copy of the bank check so you have time to ask at your bank to control if this is a valid one so you are safe by knowing you will have a valid check,
4. My agent sends the check to his trucker,
5. You will be in contact with my agent so you define a picking up day at your convienience for the car with the truck and/or my agent,
6. At day of picking up of car and title, trucker will have the right check for you that you controlled at your bank.

I allready used this way of payment for sellers wanting a bank check of similar amounts, so everybody was fine like this.

What do You think of this ? Is it better expressed as I may be not fluent ?

Anyway, you would have first contact with my agent at beginning so you could have a good communication together and maybe find another good solution between Us citizens if required.

Concerning car's condition, I know what you mean.
I can tell you that I do not think at this car as a turn key one even if you ran the engine.
Pics speak themselves but It was necessary for me to have confirmation of the condition of several points needing restoration as you did upon my request.
That helps me to check who is able to do the required job here on the required points of restoration, the todo's things and others that can wait... you see what I mean.

If I did not expressed excitation for it this is not due to lack of motivation for her but because I am much thinking to practical details for a smooth transaction later for us if it comes.

Of course, I will definitly express excitation and happiness if you contact me with a lower buy it now price : DD. (LOL.. joke or not ???) so I just have to click instantly.


I will wait to hear from you about all this.

Have a very Nice evening
Regards

Sebastian

I told him send me the money , or no deal !!

That is clearly a common scam. I found that since I listed some things on Craig's List...I've received a ton of them. The good thing about it? They're all the sames basic language...usually terrible usage of our language....and all want to do some deal through an "agent".

If they weren't so "by the book" with their BS, I believe MANY more people would fall for it. In other words, they're stupid thieves.

Don't even converse with him...at all.

There must be a "Cliffs Note's" version of this scam out there. I received the same thing when I had my 71 for sale. Seems like to me the name used was also Sebastion.

i get these about boats too, cashier check is fake and it can take the bank up to 2 months to figure it out. (from my bank guy). when they do the guy is long gone. i just tell them to cash the check and send the driver with cash.
never hear back.

I listed a bunch of parts from an S15 parts truck on Craig's List and in capitol letters at the bottom I stated... CASH ONLY....NO CHECKS. I never got any scam communication...

LOL, I forgot about that^ part. Yep, their name is always one that would fit a butler to a T...or any soap opera character.
