PLEASE BEWARE AND DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!!!!! Here's the final email response that was just sent to me, with the full email header & addresses:

Good-day Doug

How are you doing?Hope fine

Thanks for your reply,i will like to let you that my client is eager to purchase this vehicle from you but never the less my client is very glad to see that you are willing to sell the vehicle to him,cause he can;t wait to have it and can;t afford to see that he doesn;t purchase it from you,hopes the engine is serviced and oil changed.

However,My client made out a certified cashiers cheque of($50,000)before he travelled to japan on a business trip,for a previous cobra which is more expencive than yours and its shipment charges etc but it was unfortunately sold out.The amount on the cheque he deposited for the vehicle bigger than what should be paid to you now,so the cheque is now meant for the total expenses which includes the purchase of your vehicle,the pick up of the vehicle from its present location and the shipping charges/other necessary shipping arrangements.

However he has instructed us to carry on with this transaction.So you're required to deduct the cost of your vehicle ($43,000)and send the balance of($7,000)to my client;s shipper via money-gramm transfer to enable him offsett shipping charges/arrangements.once the transaction is concluded,an agent will be coming for the pick up of the vehicle on from its present location and then drive to a pre paid shipper for shipment,and also conclude other necessary shipping arrangements.so you dont have to bother yourself about the pick up and shipping arrangements,while title papers and other necessary documets will be sent by you via fedex courier to my customer.

Please Confirm this and provide me with this details your
(1)Your full legal name(to be issued on the cheque)
(2)Your contact address(cheque to be sent to)
(3)Your phone number

for cheque payment to be delivered to you via fedex courier.I await your quick responce as soon as possible

Thanks and God bless
Kindest Regards
Steven Mack

N:B.the agent in charge of the pickup will do necessary checkups and test drive,so you have no course to worry about.will be glad to see that the vehicle is sold to my client.
