Sell my car?

[AmaRu]

when i first bought my e30 ive had people come to my door and ask me if i wanted to sell my car obviously if the price was right i would have sold it...since i got some interest i put the car on buyandsell.ca jus to see if i could make any money out of it. After like a month i recieved an email today by some guy in New York that wants to buy my car, i originally posted the car for $4500cdn....i bought it for $3400cdn now this guy who emailed me has offered me $4500USD this was his exact email to me:

for some reason it sounds phony to me, but if you get your money then there is nothing you have to worry about.

****FRAUD WARNING****
Recently, several people advertising cars or parts on the classifieds have been contacted by thieves based in Nigeria using a counterfeit cashiers check scheme. Do NOT be enticed to sell to anyone in a West African country, and especially do NOT send money there. The thieves will try to get you to wire them a refund for overpayment on their counterfeit cashiers check.

Not saying this is the same thing but it sound a little weird.

Dude, have you never gotten one of those scam emails that wants you to put $10,000 dollars in some bank in Africa so you can get your share of $50,000,000?

This is the same shit. Delete that email immediatley and never even open one again if you get it.

Did you notice that he didn't even mention what kind of car you had that he was interested in buying?

No you want to forward it to the Fed's so they can follow up on this and boot his ass out of country.

Stealing is not tolerated.

Typical autotrader scam. I got e-mails like that all the time from people in Africa and Europe ready to drop money in my car no questions asked.
