Beware of Scam replies to Classified Ads

[davew]

Since posting my car for sale in the classifieds section last week I have had a number of emails origination from Nigeria in which the autor claims to be european and offers me a cashier's check for my car. I have also received some sent to me in error replying to other peoples ads. BEWARE of these people. They are SCAMS and not authentic buyers. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

below if the full text of the last one I got
