SCAM ALERT! If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Many classified advertisers are getting bogus emails from people in countries outside the U.S. Typically, these off shore "buyers" agree to pay more than your asking price (by FedEx'ing you a fake cashiers check) and ask that you wire them the difference. Don't be fooled! Here are some articles on the subject:

as regards shipping to my location in England,cos i have an underground private shipping company based in England as well.They have always been in charge of the pick up of all my goods (They've been so striaght forward and delligent in picking up of goods for me). With due respect you can as well have the director of the shipping agent emailed at(global_deliveryman@hotmail.com) speak to "Mr steven gester".if only you are also interested in selling the 1992 GMC Sonoma GT Pickup for me.
