How am I racist? I said those Africans - I know both white and black Africans. I DID NOT specify a race. This scam typically comes from Nigeria, actually.

Waste of time, they will send your bank a transfer, you'll refund the $6000, and their transfer will not clear. You'll be responsible for the $6000 though, and they will already have withdrawn it by the time you realize whats going on.

This scam typically comes from Nigeria, actually.exactly.. when i was searching for a carin terrier awhile back i emailed this person.. they replied to me and said they were living in nigeria as church missionaries helping with hurricane katrina relief efforts.. hmmmm i thought katrina happened in new orleans?!?!? :lmfao: they said once they recieved my $300 via "western union" (which is un-trackable) they would send the pup.. talk about some bad karma..

and most of the time the text is illegible or doesn't make any sense.. which is typical of most people on this board.. hmmm :rolleyes:

Please send a cash payment in small, unmarked US bills. Let me know if this is a problem.

Thank you,

Shipping a car like this in an enclosed trailer isn't cheap. :???:

Yeah, I'm selling it. My reason: I don't drive it much anymore. There is no use in me having a "garage queen" of sorts. I'll get something else in a few years, but for now I'm going to focus on my house. The temptation to spend thousands in mods might be too much if I keep it.

We both live in Suwanee. If you wanna see it, just let me know. :goodjob:

[Doppelgänger]

i agree with Jason. Get them to send you the money, send them a scale model of the car.. and turn the check over to the feds lolol. What are they really going to d oto you?? I read a story of this type scam to a computer company and the guy kept sending him broken printers and lap tops... never did cash the check though.

[Ruiner]

hey ruiner i have a guy interested in your porsh

Okay. What do you need from me? I can drop the price if he doesn't want the HRE wheels and wants the stock turbo twists instead. Otherwise, the price will come with both sets of wheels. I'm willing to negotiate. Let me know.
