I am hoping that I am not repeating a previous post, but even if I am, I hope this will serve as a reminder. On the SCORE site, I advertised my class 10 car for sale, also, a type 1 motor, and a Mendeola 4 speed. An e-mail was sent to me recently regarding my car. It read :
"Greetings,
I saw your advert and i'm interested in buying your Class 10
Lothringer. I'm offering $38000. Get back to me your banking details(sort
code and a/c no)as well as bank address so that I can instruct my client
to send the funds via wire transfer to your account. Hope to read from
you soon.
Corry."

A couple of days later, I received another regarding my motor. It read
"We are interested in buying your above mentioned product at advertised rate. Goods to be picked up from your location for onward shipping to London. Cost and modalities of shipping to be born by us.
Payment for the purchase is by check through a debtor in US. The debtor owes us higher than our purchase. He will therefore be sending you a check for $9,000 to cover the cost of our order, as well as the Shipping costs.
On receipt of the check, you will cash and deduct the cost of our order .The balance you will send as we would instruct you to the Agency that will ship the Goods to us. If this arrangement suites you fine, please send us your address where to send the check, as well as the name to be on it. Also send us your phone number for easy communication." <font color="blue"> </font>
I read an article which talked about this common fraud tatic which has been widely used recently.
Just thought you might want to know that these people are targeting the SCORE site. <font color="blue"> </font>
