Need help excepting payment overseas!
Hello guys! I didn't exactly know where to post this on this forums, but after being in the Honda community for a couple of years in the past, I was hoping you guys could help me and give me some advice. I am currently selling my stock exhaust from my TT Toyota Supra for $125+shipping. I have an interested buyer. The only problem is, he is from overseas, and what he is telling me to do doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I guess what I'm asking is, is this a safe transaction? I really don't want his "international agent" knowing my address or showing up at my door step. Here is his email to me...please help as I need to know what to do asap!
hello,
Many thanks to you, all what and saying in excess and what i will like you
to do is that i will insruct my client in us to issue out the check of $6,000
and send it to your location so as soon as you recieved it i will like you to
take out $125 and for the strees and inconvinency i will lead you through i will
like you to take out $200 and wired the $5,675 to my international shipping
agent in london so for him to make use of it to come to your location for the
pick up of the ( 1994 TT Stock Exhaust) in your location.So i will like you to
give me the following details so as to be forwarded to my client to issue out
the check in your name and
send it to your location if you agreed on this transaction
urgently.
FULL NAME--(TO BE WRITTEN ON THE CHECK)
FULL ADDRESS----------------
CITY-------
STATE----------------
COUNTRY---------------
ZIP CODE-----------
PHONE NUMBER-----------
CELL NUMBER----------
LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR REPLY ASAP1
