    not related to bmw---->beware of cashier checks/money ord

    i almost lost close to 2000 today when selling a bike to a guy who claimed to be in holland he said hes going to send a check out it was going to come from nigeria. this is how it works i cash it and a week later my bank calls to tell me it was conterfit and now you are left to pay off the bank. but i remember reading somthing on turner motorsport about not taking/sending money to nigeria so i read it again

          Dude, no offense, but this scam has been around for 10+ years, didn't you know better?

                      OMFG, I'm sorry, I'm really not trying to be a dick here, but I get that thing in my email like once a week. You've never seen it before?

                      Is this an early April Fool's joke?

                                  its true though, I *almost* got fucked by those guys when selling tara's laptop.


                                  I'm pretty internet savvy, and have a damn good junkmail filter, so I had never seen it before.


                                  I thought I might as well fess-up, since I 'd ya.

                                      Also, I got stupid attachments that load up worms. Pieces of shit....
