Lovely Pastor, eh, I've got tears in my eyes. Mark Henry, doesn't sound very Norwegian. Needs to try harder. Mart.
Standard format scam: you cash the cheque, bank clears it, you send money, also send car, bank then informs you they have discovered it was a fraudulent cheque, sue you for the money, or just take it out of your bank if you have it. You will lose, car, money, temper, confidence in people and your good standing with financial establishments as you are dragged through the courts to pay for the money the bank gave you by mistake. Works on most people though., I've done it a thousand time
i got a few last time so the last one i got i told them they had contacted the British fraud intelligence agency and that we were in the process of tracking them down,aint had one since.I dunno if they believed it but you can never take the chance ............Marq
Mark Henry, big WWF wrestler. It's a shame they do this crap, what if there is a true hotrodder over there that really is interested? You would never know because of all these scams. I really feel bad for you guy's over there. later plmczy
