I need you to give me more details of it and reasons why you are selling it out as this will give me great confidence in the purchase. I will like you to send me your offer price of the vehicle so i can send you check for payment in a couple of days. Payment will be made asap in a certified check. If you accept this method, feel free to email me back. I will prefer you send me your full name/address where check could be made payable to for convinience.

The sad part is that 99% of the people know about this scam, but all it takes is that other 1%, who fall for it, to make it worth the effort for these guys to do this.

the bank was - Bank of America Agenices in Wisconsin,

The check I used to buy my car was like that. Bank of America something or other. All mine was is a check for a charge card that I had. If you used those checks the balance would only be like 4.9% apr or some shit for the life of the balance only if you used the check. *shrugs* Maybe that is what he was doing and wanted the rest for something else. Or it could be a scam..

The best part is when you cash the fake check and get arrested for check fraud.
