Pastor Smith.

***At this point I remembered seeing the thread on Honda-Tech.com about this scam, so i decided to test him by uping the price in the car a couple thousand to see if he still wanted to buy the car......

My Reply: Mon. May 3, 2004

yea the deal sounds good, but are you sure that you don't want to see the car before you send the check? And you know what....ive decided not too sell the car for less than my original asking price of 5000.oo (Us) But if your still interested than just send the check. And i will send you the shipping money.

His Fourth Email To Me: Wed. May 5, 2004

Hello,
If you know that you areasking for $5,000 and then
i will ask my partner to send you thesum of $8,000
because theshipment will cost thesum of that of $3,000
so please i want you to send themoney as soon as you
received the check.
If that is ok by you i want you to send me your
name,contact address and your phone number.
I hope to hear from you soon.

***Basically in this email he's telling me he will give me the now 5000.00 that i bumped the price up to now!!! Bullsh*t!!! This is when i confirmed that it was a scam for sure.

Conclusion: DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!! and thanks to AllMotorMonsters for posting that scam, you really saved my *** on this one.
