Angry Ba@%*&$#!!!

Bruce,
These slugs are everywhere! Scam artists really suck! One of the guys in my office was also selling a car(not as rare or nice as yours), but he was aware of the scam. He responded positively to them, and then kept the faked cashiers check (a fake check from Peoples Bank of Kentucky-which no longer exists). They wanted him to Western Union the excess funds back to them "so they could pay their shipper", so he just ran them over to their Western Union about eight or ten times, then sent them an e-mail saying "SUCKER".
Unfortunately, neither the FBI or Police were interested because they were out of the country.
What a bunch of jerks!
I am glad you didn't get hooked, and I also hope you find the right buyer for your Corvette. It is a beautiful car!
Good Luck!!
John Russell
