Scam

I had heard about this but I never thought I would have someone try it on me.I have a 454ss for sale and I have this guy e-mail me wanting to send a check from overseas for more than it is worth. When you cash the check it takes weeks for it to go through.When it does it is a bad check and the bank takes the amount out of your account to cover the check you cashed.By then the guy is long gone and you are out the whole amount.

I wonder if the local law has any info on stopping this scam.I have no intension of having anything to do with this guy but it would be nice to help get them arrested.
Here is his e-mail to me.

Thank you for all you have written as regards the sale of the 90ss $2999.95. I am glad to announce my further interest in it's sale.
So,my Financier had been contacted as he had informed me that the Check in Amount of $6480 will be issued out to you.
Why the Check is in that Amount is because i am meant to receive the said Sum from my Financier which should have been paid long time ago,but now that i had informed him about this transaction,he had promised getting it across to you without no further delay.
So,i will be expecting the Informations to where the said Check should be issued so that he can get it across without further delay as i will instruct on how the remainder of the Check be treated when received by you.
Hope to read from you soon.
Regards,

Auto

Don't get it?

I realize its a scam! But if you deposit the check and DON'T spend the money until the check clears. So what if the bank takes the money out after it bounces. Can you open a new account with the check and just leave there until it clears, then wait, then give the a** the car!
