My ALON is for sale (see Al's Swap Page). I had also placed an ad in Trade-a-Plane. Several days later I got an e-mail inquiry requesting specs and photos. The e-mail was a bit odd, i.e., the English was slightly garbled. I sent the requested info and received two additional replies. The gist was that a foreign lady from (?) wanted to buy the airplane, sight unseen, for her husband, and have it shipped to (?). She asked about an earnest money deposit. I told her a Cashiers Check in amount of $10,000 (refundable) would suffice . She replied saying she would send me a check for $105, 000, which I was to deposit it to my bank account, retain $25000 for myself as earnest money, and give the remaining $80, 000 to her "Shippers" who would appear at my door (I had not given her my address). By that time I had decided that this was obviously a scam, and stopped exchange of e-mails with her. I recall reading about similar schemes , but don't remember where or when. BEWARE!
