My first clue was that somebody wanted to buy my copy of "The Cobra Story"...
Heh, heh, just kidding.
Clearly a scam. Just a head's up in case any of the rest of you get an email from "Andrew".

Right now, there are so many guys scamming it's not even funny. Check out Craigslist. The new scam there is to offer bogus cars at stupid prices. The car is always in the UK, and the guy selling the car is in the US military saying he'll ship it to you through e-bay.

They are also offering parts:
Parts Scammer - Be very careful!!!!!!!!!
Be very cautious with whom you are dealing with now, it is easy to get excited about a part or sale and get burned.
Buy/sell safe from folks you know.......Jeff |

I just had a similar scam sent to my email thru ebay. They wanted to buy something I was never selling and asked for my pay pal information.

I received the same e-mail inquiry about the baseball, football and basketball card collections that I listed several months ago.
I signed Andrew up to meet some hot Hindu women, for substance abuse and pedophile counseling and he should really be happy about becoming a future organ donor. We do have a moral obligation!

Whoever is sending this email must be cruzing the car forums as I got 3 of them from the 3 sites I have parts listed on, started to read the 1st one and just laughed and deleted all.
