Since he is using a Yahoo address, I have reported him to Yahoo.
All of you that have been contacted should do the same.

I work closely with the DA and wanted to know if they wanted to do a criminal case. They referred me to the Secret Service. Supposedly the Secret Service handles all the Email scams.

I had gotten a similar email on having a for sale ad placed on a karting website.

Sign him up for internet porn spam. They'll send as much as his account can handle and pass his email to other Spamers.
A couple years ago this became the thing to do on one of the other boards I frequent. People were getting ahold of email addresses of people they disagreed with and signing them up for porn spam, which has no end. Eventually we all did as we are doing here and hid our email addresses.

All of you that have been contacted should do the same.

If only one does it, it may not have any effect. If we all do this, well you know.

I'll send when I get home. At work at the moment.

I've seen this a lot on Ebay Motors! The scam usually looks like this:
Price: 1/2 of book value
Reason for selling: Registration issues in their country
Alleged place of sales: almost always Europe
Payment: they want half paid in wire transfer
Time of Auction: 24 hrs maximum
They normally run it for a short time to see if someone will bite and before Ebay can figure out its a scam. By the time the unwary buyer figures out its a scam, they're off with a few grand that you can't, and Ebay won't, recover.

I spotted a 350Z, Buell CityX, and an Infiniti G35, all at half their value, and all with the same story.

Here is an article on Snopes that talks about this exact thing happening.

http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/scams/carsale.asp


"As is the case in the 'cashier check' scam (sellers are duped into accepting cashier checks in excess of the amounts they seek for their goods on the understanding they are to forward the additional monies to third parties), the scam works because the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) requires banks to make money from cashier's, certified, or teller's checks available in one to five days.",http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/scams/reshipper.asp
