    Ok so I am selling my car on craigslist and I got this email from someone that wants to buy my car for $3000. And I want you guys to read this email and tell me if it sounds weird or what.

    Sounds great,am very happy to purchase the Car and make your payment today,please send me your information such as Name, Address, City, State, Code and Phone # for me to make payment for your Car today,I will love to handle the shipment myself via my company shipper that is currently in US BAY area,I will make your payment via CASHIER CHECK, the check will take 2-3days before you can receive it, so when you received the check kindly proceed to any Cashing Point or your Bank or any Bank Of America that is close to you to get the check cash. I will wait for you to confirm and clear the check.The payment will be in excess as i will want you to contact my shipper with the excess fund for shipping the Car after you must have confirmed and cashed the check.i will wait for your bank to clear the check so you can deduct your own money and send the excess fund to the shipper via MONEY GRAM so as to cover the cost of shipping the Car from your place to it's destination. Is that okay by you? Get back to me asap.
    Thanks and God Bless

    Sounds weird, but sounds like you get money before you need to do anything...

    lol.

    I got a million of these every time I ever sold a car on CL.

    But seriosuly, I have recently come to represent a Nigerian prince who was deposed and he wishes to buy your car but cannot transfer his millions out of his war torn country.

    I will send you a check for 2.5 million us dollars and you will arranged to have the car transported to my friend.

    Yeah, it's sitting in the garage right now. $1200 and it's yours.

    I'm going to throw it on CL next weekend after I touch up some of the paint on the frame. I'm going to list it at 1500 on there.

    Well I seriously might be getting $10,000 from the lottery whenever I decide to call them and see what they say. So if I do get that money then I might be able to get a Subaru finally!
