About a week ago I also got a few emails about classified ads, and about using their own shipper. The emails just seem a little different from usual IMO. Anyone get anything similar? Are they real or some kind of bot.

YA my partner it works with me at FM is selling a 87 red Ranger. He got some shit that said they wanted to give him a $15,000 check and for him to cash it,take his $800 for the truck and pay his shipper to ship the truck to the country he was from. And to send the guy the rest of the money back.... What kinda shit is that

Here's an example of one of the 10 or so i've recieved since posting this a few days ago.. LOL

Hello Seller,
My name is Tanana Dunkman,I have a client who is interested in
buying your item,he informed me that the payment will be remmited via a
cashiers check America postal money order.Is the price listed firm?In
order to conclude the deal as soon as possible,the cashiers check that
will be sent to you will include the money for the sales of your item and
the shippers fees for organising a home pick up service.You do not need to
worry as my shipping company will come to pick the item up from your base
for shipment. What I want to clarify is that will you be able to send the
shipping charges to the shipping agent in U.S through western union money
transfer method as soon as you get and cash the check and you deduct the
money for the sales of your item?If you agree to assist in this capacity
kindly send your full name,address and your contact phone number.


At first I thought it was just someone with bad grammar with the first 2, but then figured some kind of scam.. wish I knew a way to completely block them. What are these guys trying to get us to do exactly, lol.
