Default Is this a scam

Ive a piece of shit Toyota picnic 7 seater for sale here in Ireland and have it up on a local website at 500 euro

Have had a guy on the phone o African origin who says he is coming tomorrow to pay me cash for it and will send a tow truck on Monday to send it to the port for export

I asked was he paying draft or cash an he said cash

I asked him how was it profitable to buy it, send it to Africa and still make a profit

He says he is buying it for his mum

Obviously I don't believe the mum story but should I just take the money and change over the details on the log book and post it and can I get caught out?

Fake cash?

Yeah anything jap is silly money out in Africa,apparently transits are selling well for export too.
If its cash don't worry,you can always tell George akadukadengay that you've been ripped off in the past and nip down the local shop to get the notes checked.

I advertised my hilux surf in January,had about 15 phone calls all from 'foreign accented' guys,sold it within hours,guy drove up from brum to ne Scotland to pick it up,paid cash no probs.it got sent to the middle east or africa,most of the callers said it would be for export,guy I know sold a fooked hiace van for Ł500 and the guy had it sold somewhere abroad for 4 times as much,mercs,toyotas,bmws etc are in demand abroad,if he's paying cash I'd pull his arm off.

george arrived, met him 5 miles away from my home, luckily the log book was still in the last owners name as i completely forgot to change it over so the cunt cant come rob me, lol

he handed over 500 in 50s, held em up to the light and all looked fine, got him to sign the log book and off he went

the amount of nigerians who rang this morning was crazy, pity the cunts wouldnt hand me a wad of 50s for the evo 5 and escort cosworth im selling lol
