Guys,
Help me understand the "Scam" of your receiving his response. He will send a
check to you, with your proper name and address "so you can get it in the
mail". This check if for the price of the truck AND shipping. You take it to
YOUR bank and wait until it clears and they assure you there is indeed american
$ in your account. You pay yourself for the truck and then pay the people, who
come to ship the truck, the balance. I don't see it. In fact ... the scam
can be that you have the $ in your checking/savings account and keep the truck.
I've had one of those scams come to me and they wanted all of my banking
information so they could wire the money to the bank. AHAA! All of my
pertinent information so they could TAKE the $ from my account. Man... what a
scam that is.

That is definitely fraud looking to me, it is commonly referred to
as the "Nigerian Scam" the check will be bad, you lose the truck,
AND they rob you of the cash you put up to ship, I always tell the
buyers they are responsible for their own shipping on things I sell
for just such reason, also tell them checks are only to be from
banks within the states, and not to exceed the sale amount. Good
measures to reduce the fraud, I go even further in that I warn the
buyer I hold the item 10 days after depositing the check to make
sure its cleared. Most honest people know the scams and are ok with
that for just such reasons.
