so Im selling some rims and I got an email from someone asking about specifics. I replied with a final price and got this email.

Thanks very much for your email, The reason I am sending you this email is to make final reconfirmation of the wheels and tires and also to let you know that payment will be by certified cashiers cheque. In view of this I need you to email me any information that may be required to send the cashiers cheque, as I do not want to send the cashiers cheque to a wrong location lest they gets into the wrong hands. Regarding the shipping, I have a company that takes care of the pick up of my consignments for me and ship to my destination anywhere in the U.S.A, you do not worry about shipping, the company will send down a represent to arrange the sales documentation and the pick up from your end for onward transfer to my destination. I also want to alert you on the fact that you will be recieving an overdraft cashiers cheque, which will cover the money for the pickup (pickup and shipping to the final destination) as well as the money to be paid to the company that will take care of the pickup and the documentation with you. So please, as soon as you receive the cashiers cheque, go and cash immediately, deduct the money that accrues to you, and send the balance to the Head Office of the company that handles the shipment in Canada via the nearest Western Union agent in your area. Deduct the Western Union charges from the balance and send the remaining to Canada immediately . The cashiers cheque will be in your name to make it easier for you to receive payment, deduct your money and send the balance via Western Union as regards my earlier direction, please reconfirm your details one more time. I will give you the details of the company that you will send the balance of the money to in Canada once I get a reply and agreement that you will send the money to Canada via Western Union money trnasfer immediately you cash the cashiers cheque. Once the money is received by the agent in Canada, the shipping agent will contact you immediately to arrange the documentation as well as the pick up immediately. So in view of the above, here are some of the details I will need for final issuance of the cashiers cheque for you. (1) Full Name (2) Mailing address, no p.o.box please (3) your direct telephone number (4) acceptance of my offer Once you get back to me with all the above, the cashiers cheque will be issued out immediately and it will be sent to you . Hope to hear from you immediately. Regards,

N.b I ll give you $50 for you reserving the wheels and tires for me.

Its not Nigeria, but Im not 100% sure its not a scam.

ok so I take that as a yes. It just seems weird because the ad I put out was in the recycler.

scam. As a seller you never should have to send out any money to anyone.
