You should post this on WhoScammedYou.com and put all the scammers info on there so others outside of the CC community can be aware of scams like this.

Ron,
Harvesting pictures, cars, listings in a wholesale fashion can be considered spam if that information is eventually used for nefarious purposes.

More like spam.......With the same cut and paste message..For reasons as yet unknown.......A back trace of his email address came up with a MtView,CA location,so perhaps an IP spoof is in place.

follow up for Ron
Sorry Robert,
I only do bank to bank wire transfer of funds, I do not accept checks of any kind. Also, keep in mind that the car will not be available for a test drive without all funds first having cleared the local bank of my choosing. In this way I am covered should your test driver crash the car. If this is acceptable to you, then you need to provide me with your full name, address, social security number, bank name, bank account number, and the name and number of of your local bank manager. I await your information so that we can proceed.
Sincerely,
Bill S.

Are there still goobers out there that fall for this crap?
I love to play along with these guys. Have them sent the check and make it out to U. Ben Haad at 4672 Fukoff Street, (anytown, or State). They actually do it and then get pissed when you don't acknowledge receipt. Then they start threatening all kinds of legal action.

It always cracks me up that none of these scammers can really write a proper English sentence. You have to be pretty naive to fall for a scammer of this sophistication.

No, I don't believe so.
I suggest just using caution when solicited by anyone in this fashion...and do not try and seek out a source of the solicitation, nor toy with the solicitor in an attempt to ferret out the individual.
It will not work and is just unwise.
