Got that same email when I sold a car.
Google the persons name or part of the description and you get the 411 on the scam.

I will buy the car!!! I will mail you a cashiers check for $50,000 and all you have to do is refund me difference!

I can't believe someone tried to scam me like this... on a $200 piano I was selling on CL!

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the post. I'm embarrassed that I even asked if it was a scam... I had just had back surgery and was in such incredible pain and drug induced stupor.

I did have it posted on Pelican but never got any interest. The motor is sound as far as I know and when I bought it about 4000 miles ago it had good leak down test and no issues at all. I love this car but my back just won't allow me to drive it any more. It's too nice to be a total garage queen. Maybe someone will notice it now.

Y'all forgive me for bein' such a nimrod as to believe this scam offer. Still climbing outta the fog that pain meds induce...

Well said, Mark. Very eloquent and heartfelt post. You are so right about the drug-induced fog thing, as many of us have experienced lately. But there's nothing to forgive, bro. No matter what happens, please never leave this forum. You would be greatly missed.
