Default Scam E-Mails and buying a Cobra

I have my ERA listed on Cobra Country and am sad to report have gotten a LOT of "Nigeria" mail, as well as a smattering of interest from apparently serious buyers. No hurry to sell, if I sell at all.

Growing more suspicious, I've started trying to verify 'who's who' to find out if their 'real'. I found this little blurb about "davidtom", a buyer who says he's from the UK, by Googling his e-mail address...

Actual e-mail address' have been edited for this post:

Details: beware of scams e mail address "davidtom060" who contacted me by email about a moter i listed for sale for 2200 said he s frome uk wanted to give me a cashers check for 7000 said his contact here in the states would need remaing amount to ship moter back to uk if i would of cashed it i would be responsible for paying money back to bank and moter is gone thanks james

On the other hand, I 'Googled' another guy I was HIGHLY suspicious off and discovered he is quite 'legitimate' and actually a 'dealer' of specialty cars! So it works both ways.

Be careful out there...
