Re: [Chrysler300] Fwd: I have in buying your Car.

Don't bother checking this out. It's a scam. Report it. There was a
story like this involving a '62 Buick Special about a month ago. The key
is the cashier's check. Makes you think it's legit, but by the time that
check comes back bad from the bank it's drawn on, you've already been
had and your car's gone.

Note the "urgent" part, too. What's urgent about our hobby?

I can't count the number of phony email solicitations I've gotten
claiming to be someone from Africe who has to move money into my bank
account. I haven't even replied, so I haven't gotten to the part where I
have to send them money yet.
