I agree it's a scam for sure, and one likely involving a fake check.

I don't think it's a scam to try to end up with your car, though. They are interested in getting cash, not used cars. That's why they always say they are not in the country, etc. Because they aren't going to be coming by to see or pick up a car, ever.

They all work under the same principle. They get you involved in the transaction. Once involved, the transaction naturally begins to build up momentum and some degree of familiarity/trust. But always, at some point, they will get you to a point where you are releasing/sending money to them, without having anything "real" in return.
