    Question about selling my car..

    Ok, I have my car up for sale on MANY websites and a company in Canada sent me an e-mail saying this:

    Good day,
    I am Les freeman, director of AIC Autos 1070 Glenbrook Avenue
    Oakville, Ontario L6H 4A3 Canada.We purchase,Pick-up,Deliver Automobiles for our clients when contracted. Our client has indicated interest in
    your automobile that was advertised on the net.
    Please we would want to know if it's still availiable?
    And if it's still,Send me:
    (i)The final/bottom price of the automobile.
    (ii)The miles/kilometre on the scale.
    (iii)The recent picture of the automobile.
    (iv)Why you are selling the automobile?
    The above questions are part of our company policy
    when purchasing automobile,So don't find it
    embarrasing to answer.
    Hope to read from you soon.
    Have a splendid day !
    So I replied to him with the answers about the car, pictures of it, expaining that everything shaved was welded and such.. and I got this as a reply.

    Hello ,
    Thank you for your response, after discussing with our client who really commended your vehicle, he has instructed me to move on with the deal at the price of $8,200, he said he will be going on a vacation soon and will rest virtually all the transaction on my shoulder and assign a shipper like wise that i will work with and stressed that he will be issuing out a cashier check of ($16,000) which was a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by him but will be filed in your name, you are only required to deduct the cost of your vehicle ($8,200) and send the difference ($7,800) when payment gets to you to a shipping agent whose information will be given to you as at when due, he will be needing the fund to offset shipping charges, taxes and other cosmetic repairs/touches, the agent will be responsible for signing and transfering of title paper and also pick-up.
    So i require of you to send me your NAME,ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER
    for payment to be delivered to you through courier services .All other information needed in completion of this transaction will be given to you in due time.Please get me the recent pictures as soon as possible.

    Les
    Does this sound legit and if it is, is there a way to CONFIRM that I will keep the money and not be dicked over? I'm guessing have them do a Western Union and keep the money for a few days to make sure it clears or something else like that.

    If not, I'll wait for the next buyer!

            id be weary.. but WTF cant they just give you a check for the amount due.. rather than make you take out the check then send them the difference?!.. seems like poor business practice as well as a shady deal

              It's a Scam! I had a member on another site go through this same shit, He even had a check that he took to his bank...... and they had to hold it to see if the money would transfer over and it didn't!........ so don't do it, you'll send your car away and be fucked in the end.

                Why don't you just cash the check...give me the car, and send back the 7,800. At least I'll appreciate the car more

                That's a scam Adam...the out of country scam to a T. I beg you not to go through with it.

                  This is a scam. I am an Independent Dealer and there is no way this is legit. It's common scam with other items but this is the first one I've seen for a car. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THIS GUY and report it to either your local authorities or to the autotrader website.

                        SCAM!!

                        No doubt about it in my mind. Tell them to come to you and pay in cash or no deal. See what they say to that...

                            Do like that "apple laptop" guy did. When he sends the money, send him like a matchbox car, and have detectives monitor the mailing address, so they can arrest him. That would be awesome.

                            on the stairs, she grabs my arm, says whats up,
                            where you been, is something wrong?
                            i try to just smile, and say everything’s fine.
