I recieved mail from an individual today requesting information about a cobra for sale (I posted the ad for someone else, so this person mailed me by mistake). The letter:
Quote:
i saw your advert via the internet and i am
interested in the purchase of your cobra. i am a
business man in West-Africa who is into importation, i
have a local shipper that takes care of my shipping so
shipping is no problem, as soon as the transaction is
completed my shipper will come to pick it up.my only
request is if you will accept a cashier check drawn in
American bank, so if this is ok by you, kindly let me
know your last price offer via email and forward me
your phone number.
expecting your urgent response

Now, I have heard of some pretty crazy scams over the last year involving overseas dealings with cars, so I urge you to be very careful! I would not hesitate to contact the FBI before parting with your Cobra, or money to purchase from a private person overseas.
This *might* be a legit deal, I just urge you all to take extreme cautions with such matters....There are lots of creeps out there who are not willing to work for their toys like you and me.
