I have read about this guy on the list, I believe it was Ken Wilford who
was posting earlier this year about a guy trying to get him to cash a
check and then send the balance to a shipping company. What a joke. I
led him on a little to see what he would do, and he replied saying my
asking price was okay, and to send him all my personal location
information. Then to cash the check, and send the balance to some
shipping agent in my state. 

Just wanted everyone to know that he is still out there, his email name
is Thomas Johnson, and his English is terrible. I sent him a reply to
the last email basically saying to leave me alone, and to find a new
line of work. 

The old saying, "If it is to good to be true, it probably is" definitely
fits the bill here.

Happy Motoring!
