scam?

i know it probably is but just want to get some more oppinions....Hello, Thanks for your immediate response.Asking price is okay.Presently I am off the shores of Libya with my family where I work as a Drilling Engineer on the coastal explorations with Exxon Mobil Oilfields.So I will need to ask a colleague from my home town in Texas to send you a Cashier's Check.Please send me your address,full name and telephone number so that I can instruct my colleague to send you the Check.Since that is the only means of payment I can offer now due to my present location.Do not bother about the shipping to libya I have a shipping agent who will come over to the USA to ship some of my items from my home in Texas so he would also come over to your house for pick up of the 05 scion xb.Please reply asap. Regards,Tony

im pretty sure anything with the words colleague and cashiers check along with a foreign country is a scam Along with the request for his address, full name and telephone number. Sometimes, that's how banks/vendors with billing capabilities verify billing addresses. That's a scam fer-sure!
