Default Strange Pm
Just recieved this pm about a diff i have for sale,from a member called toto1 what do you guy's make of it,he is in texas


Hello

I am interested in buying the cossie 2wd 7 1/2" diff that you have placed for sell now, and I would want to enquire about the present condition of the above mentioned, as well as some detail about you. I expect this timely enough.

As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price as I will be paying with a certified cheque.

Lastly, please forward to me your full company's (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through these facilities.

Yours interestingly,

Raymond Griffiths


Should you need to reply to me, Please get back in touch with your
details to me at:texme59@yahoo.com for a quick reply.

exactly!

who cares if its dodgy or not (reads dodgy!)

even if it was a "normal" pm, is it really worth all the hastle of selling it to some one in texas.

yup same scam as when selling a car. fake bankers draft, pay it in, funds show, you let them have the car, funds are taken back as fake draft, you've got no car / diff and no money for it.

tell him to do one fella.
