User name on here is Sholer. He contacted me inquiring about some injectors I had for sale. Here is the pm:
"Hello
I am interested in buying the Freshly Rebuilt and Matched 550cc Inject 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:usc85@yahoo.com for a quick reply."
When I emailed him at the above address here is the response I recieved:
"Hello
Thanks for your response and your mail content duly noted.
You can not belief how only I had wish meeting you personally to discuss this regrettably I am no longer based in the US but now resides here in the U.K on similar business interest and also have a family owned old aged whare house and home located in vancouver Canada (storage & restoration unit) which is being run by my lovely daughter and wife.
So, would you please inform me if I am to purchase it as is bottom line price on the injectors (quote your price minus shipping cost) and in the same doing send to me necessary details--postal address, full name and telephone number(s)--of whom this cheque should be payable to thus my wife could mail the cheque from Canada to you on our behalf. On the shipment, I have a recommended haulier there who will be contracted to meet with you for inspection, survey and arrangement for their being transferred to vancouver.
On getting the cheque cashed and all agreement are proven to be legitimate, he (the haulier) will be directed to establish contact with you for immediate transfer of the items to vancouver where my wife and son are designated for receiving orders made by me or by our customers who has placed such order.
Raymond
PS.I assume you will send the pics to me in your next mail. To reach me: Phone Contacts: +44-704-574-9056 and or # + 44 -704-572-3922 (if the line is busy call back and back again). But sorry, I will be out on the road at work later today until 6:30 evening so until then it would be best to e-mail me as I will be checking it often and won't be available by phone until I get off of work."
Seems like a lot of trouble to go through for some $105 injectors. Just figured I'd warn people. Also, I received a very similarly worded scam about a car I had for sale.

Notice the wife and daughter statement changes a little to wife and son? a little fishy indeed. Which is it daughter or son?

Looks like he is trying some sort of identity scam.
I wonder if the following would work...
Any email saying something like, "Yes I do still have the FC passenger rear door for sale (or something else totally stupid like Toaster oven). It is in nearly new condition. Sorry no pics cause I don't have a digital camera.
My contact info is:
(Put Your Local police department's phone number, fax and address here)
