I often get a similar reply if I list an item for sale on CraigsList. Definately international scammers :mad:

WTF does that even mean?

Hmm, Why don't they just say:

I want to steel your car with a bad check and I will pay you more than you are asking so long as you will send the the difference back in cash before the stolen check bounces back to your bank.

If this is OK just let me know where I can come and get the car.
