Re: Sti airbox assembly

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello

I am interested in buying the Sti airbox assembly that you have placed for sell now, and I would want to enquire about the present condition of the above mentioned, as well as some detail about you. I expect this timely enough.

As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price as I will be paying with a certified cheque.

Lastly, please forward to me your full company's (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through these facilities.

Yours interestingly,
Ismail Osman


Should you need to reply to me, Please get back in touch with your details to me at: ___________________________for a quick reply.


blocked his email just incase is not a scam also looked his name up on the forums advanced search it says no matches found.

DEFINATELY a scam... I've gotten almost the exact same emails when selling things on ebay, and on various other classified sections in forums. When i've been really bored on 2 previous occasions, i've screwed with them and made them think they are really getting what the want...then they get all impatient with me cause they want to complete the deal. At that point I tell them, sorry item is sold...

yeah i was going to say, same thing's happened to me before, they never send a check, so dont send anything to anyone and if you do recieve a check like that, take it to a bank so they can check out the check lol
