DON'T DO IT!!!!! I have been contacted w/ the same scam while trying to sell
my wifes car & a friend had it happen while trying to sell his Sentra online.
Its called money laundering and its a little less than legal. I' m in
northern MN and we were selling a 94 Shadow, a guy in Nigeria (yes in
Africa!!!) Emails my wife telling her to expect a check for $11,700 dollars.
1700 for the car and 10000 we were supposed western union the rest to his
"partner" in Canada who would come pick up the car. I did talk to the partner
and questioned why he wanted the POS Shadow. He said the nigerian guy was a
parts dealer..... the check camew a medical company's name as a return
address?!?!? talked to my banker who gave me the local FBI's # and the fed
said to destroy the check and cut ALL contacts w/ these people. I emailed the
Nigerian telling him that i was not comfortable conducting business this way
and asked him never to contact us again or the FBI would be contacted, I
never heard from him again. The FBI guy said that its a pretty common
scam.
