IÔÇÖve been advertising an XKE on the JANE web site for a friend; we got an inquiry, which, after several emails back and forth, came this one.

ÔÇ£I have just finished discussion with my client, he instructed me to carry on with the transaction. He said that I should inform you that payment will get to you in a certified cashier's check of $45,000.00 which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by my client. Due to company policy this check has to be made out in this amount to you, because company policy only allows a refund payment on one cashier check, so you are required to deduct cost of your 1973 XKE Roadster- $39,600.00 when payment gets to you and refund balance $5,400.00 to my customer's shipping agent via western union money transfer or moneygram transfer for him to be able to offset shipping charges. After payment has reached you and balance sent back to his shipping agent who will come for the pick up and driven to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer, while title papers and other necessary documents should be made available on the day of pickup .Please Confirm this and provide name, address and phone number for check payment to be delivered to you via courier service.
Thanks and God bless. Management

Anybody want to do business with this guy!
Pete,
Stay away. This is another scam. Check some of the threads on this site for info. They don't want your car, just your money.

VERY WELL KNOWN scam... they're hoping that by the time the cashiers check bounces back to you, you've already refunded the money...
