Default How annoying is this?

got an escort si for sale on autotrader, got 2 e mails this morning from people trying to buy it abroad, offering shipment and payment by cheque, one from greece and one from france!!! i have seen people post things like this on the cars for sale section in here, is there lots of people doing scams with this abroad... copy of the e mails:

e mail addresses are there if you fancy bombarding them with e mails

Hello,
My name is Jason .I'm a minner here in Greece.
I came accross your ad and i am really intereted in geting it.
So i will want you to pls email me if it is still available and i would like to know its present condition and the selling price. send me the pics if it is available and i will like to inform you that the payment will be remmited by a cheque if that is ok by you.Is the price you listed for the item firm? or what is the actual last price?
I have a shipping company who can ship this for me so i wouldn't want you to bother yourself about shippment,my shipper will come over to your location for the pick up.
Thanks and get back to me asap.
Jason (jason_scott_01@yahoo.co.uk)

Hello Seller,

am buying it for my only son as a birthday he will be
25th next month and i want to buy your bank as a gift
for him, so i will like to know the last price and let
me know if the car is in perfect condition and send me
some pics for it.thanks..
Best Regards...
