Well, as some of you know, I'm selling a Visonik x4000xd. I have it posted on a few other sites, as well as Termpro's Classifieds. This one person has showed interested, and we've exchanged a few emails. Today, I received this email:
hello,
thanks for your previous mails about me buying your equipment and i am ready and very much intrested in purchasing it,but very unfortunate for me to have just received an inpromptu message from the company i work that i have to visit a site in west africa which is proposed as the new company branch in africa,since i am my branch manager in hawwai i am been transfer to west africa for some few weeks.but promise to be back before the end of the month,but since i have negoitated with you to send payment to you via money order and i wont want to obstruct that i contacted a client who his owning me some money to send a certified us money order of $2000 on my behalf to you so as to deduct the amount of the euipment and have the balance of the payment wired to me via western union money transfer to west africa,since bussiness and transaction is all about trust,can i go ahead and instruct my client to have the payment forward to you and trusting you to wire the balance of the payment to me as soon as you cash the money order at any local cashing store around your neighbourhood,kindly reply me if we can go on with these transaction.thanks
regards
rad
I've seen this scam before, and it looks just like what he has proposed. So everyone be on the lookout for something similar to this pattern.
