Just got this email. Anyone else get something similar. Don't know where he got my address except for this forum. Sound fishy or what?

"Hello,
miles:13895
Currently I'm in Czech Republic where I'm staying with my son and his
wife.My son had a heart attack and needs a triple bypass,and this is
why I decided to move here with my wife to help his wife to take care
of him.He may not make it after operation so I have to stay here.I
want to sell the car because I don't want it here.If you are really
interested to buy the car(the total price is $12,000,this price
includes shipping and insurance),I will come back in US no longer
than two days,so we be able to close the deal.So if you are serious
intrested please let me know,we will discuse the payment options and
may be we can get to a deal!
Waiting for your reply.
Have a nice day!"

do you need a car?

damn, people will try anything to con others. it's a scam bro. Write a reply that you'll be in the czech republic for a business trip and would like to stop by to see the car and the sick son.

I can be a heartless sob, but people will try anything to make a buck.

I would trust that about as far as I can e-throw it.

The fact that you even have to ask makes me sad.

Total scam.

All of these cheap car deals or ads usually originate overseas or somewhere in europe and never close to you say, hobokenm, NJ.

More phoney than a Milli Vanilli live performance.

He/she is kidding, right???

I seel you car first... i live with son's cat in Greenland and need a new foot so must seel car. u send me $4500 US in foodstamps and i send you car.

Tell him you are on the east coast and would like to go to see the car. Then ask him where he is. Most likely he'll say he's on the west, since you are actually in LV, you can tell him you'll be on the west on some affairs and willing to go check it out. haha...

Sounds like a pretty good deal, but not nearly as sweet as the one I managed to get myself into! This guy from Nigeria is gonna deposit millions of dollars into my bank account! Hot damn!

yeah, I'm supposed to get $10,000 for forwarding an email to ten of my friends.

scam. big time.

That guy sounds like some of the ones who email me constantly offering to deposit millions of dollars into my bank account...just sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?!!!!!

"He may not make it after operation so I have to stay here."

.... very compassionate.

We laugh at these shams BUT many elderly and challenged individuals actually do fall for it. Some are very slick - like "You have won ......then much friendly talk and finally 'just give us your account details to cover the shipping'".

Not sad - mean.

You are doing that too? Yeah, I emailed him my bank account number and added him to the signature card at my bank. So far he has just pulled out $8790 for expenses and transfer taxes and stuff so I am just waiting. I don't know why it takes 2 years.

Oh, it's your own fault that it's taking you two years. It's because you keep putting money into the account. They explained it to me, the account has to be absolutely empty before they can put the millions in, that's why they took $11040 out of my account, so it could be all ready to receive the millions, but then I forgot and deposited another $1000, and that slowed everything up because they had to take the $1000 to get it set back to empty again. I think I did that two or three times...

Yes, I think these people should be punished for trying to scam people like that, but the people who actually go along with it deserve losing that money for being that dumb.
