My first clue was that somebody wanted to buy my copy of "The Cobra Story"...

Heh, heh, just kidding.

Clearly a scam. Just a head's up in case any of the rest of you get an email from "Andrew".

i got the same email for a engine i have for sale, i just deleted it. i felt his grasp of the english language put his IQ at a plane i could not compete with.
:p:p

i think we should forward all nigerian scam emails to him.

Everyone, please feel free to subscribe to any spam-generating web sites using Andrew's email address.

Right now, there are so many guys scamming it's not even funny. Check out Craigslist. The new scam there is to offer bogus cars at stupid prices. The car is always in the UK, and the guy selling the car is in the US military saying he'll ship it to you through e-bay.

When they are interested in your "ITEM" and are not specific, you know its a scam. Canned email sent to thousands of unsuspecting sellers..

They are also offering parts:

Be very cautious with whom you are dealing with now, it is easy to get excited about a part or sale and get burned.

Buy/sell safe from folks you know.......Jeff

I just had a similar scam sent to my email thru ebay. They wanted to buy something I was never selling and asked for my pay pal information.

I got it too for a set of Roush valve covers that I still have. I'm thinking of selling to him...prepaying frieght by check if he forward me the difference by postal money order. Same name just hit this am.

I received the same e-mail inquiry about the baseball, football and basketball card collections that I listed several months ago.

I signed Andrew up to meet some hot Hindu women, for substance abuse and pedophile counseling and he should really be happy about becoming a future organ donor. We do have a moral obligation!

Whoever is sending this email must be cruzing the car forums as I got 3 of them from the 3 sites I have parts listed on, started to read the 1st one and just laughed and deleted all.
