Thanks for the attached pictures.hope the Shigaraki transport still in order as stated? i don't want to waste time..i shall send a certified cheque drawn on euro, in as much as you promise me that you will not accept other offer. to save time why not provide details of where you want the cheque received.

Name that will be on the cheque.......
Full contact address........... and your Phone number which my secretary will use to call you after sending the payment and also instruct my Freight company to come for inspection and pick up on my behalf as 'm out of the town for business.

i wish to send the payment this week and arrange pick up soon as possible.

i look forward to hearing from you..

What do you think? :confused:
 
Quite a lot of the details are similar to other scams, so I would say yes.
Exclusivity of offer, certified cheque, freight company etc. I have heard all these before in scams.
The last one who tried it on me I asked him to get the freight company who picked it up to pay cash on collection - never heard from him again.
 
Yeah seems a trifle dodgy to me too - the way it's written suggests English is perhaps not their first language, which maybe contradicts their supplied name.

If it was me I'd steer clear of any deal that has even the faintest whiff of a scam.
 
A scam all the way. Do as suggested and insist on cash, they will run a mile. I suppose you could pack up a couple of bricks for a laugh.
 
Scam

International cheques take about 1 month to clear and show as a balance on your statement. Ask him to pay cash into a bank and instruct them to send a bankers draft

It's a scam - I have had several e mails from this chappie - you'd have thought he might have used different e mail addies trying to scam others but obviously Archer is not too bright!

Cut paste item description into standard sneaky phrases, that don't refer anywhere else specifically to the item... the trade marks of a carpet bomber.

I've had a few off hififorsale. Love the way he can't spell his own name too!
