posted my friends 75 torino for sale on here, another forum and on craigslist. i got this email from someone that seen it on CL:

Hello,

how are you is this item is still for sales please get back to me as soon as possible?

Thanks

Steve.

my reply:

> yes, the torino is still for sale. call 402217xxxx and ask for dustin if you need any more info about it. thanks

his reply:

Sounds Good.

I will like to proceed with payment asap and will like to handle shipment myself when you must have gotten your cash at hand.I am in no rush to pick up the item till funds are clear at the bank.As there are too many scams on internet as regards buying and selling with large bogus account.My mode of payment will be via Electronic Cashier Check drawn on US bank.(Bank Of America).You will probarbly need a business check paper to print and cash or deposit the check today.The business check paper is sold for $20 at any stationery store,staples or at your local office supply outlet.I will add the cost of supplies to your asking price with an extra offer for accepting my mode of payment.I work with an auditing firm and will not have time to mail a check.Electronic Cashier checks is fast and secure.I will need your name and address with valid email address to send the Echeck to your email which you can print immediately when you must have purchase the supplies at staples or any stationery store.Kindly delete the advert of this item if my mode of payment is accepted.I will await your email asap.

Thanks.

Steve

If a potential buyer cant pay you in person, (its not like you can ship a car UPS, so it has to be picked up...) I would say its a scam.

If he has the funds, he can bring money.

Insist on a money order or physical cashier's check, and inform him you'll have to wait until funds clear.

See how quickly he doesn't get back to you. lol
