I had the same thing happen to me when my '91 was for sale on the se-r.net
classifieds.  I actually got 4 different versions all stating they were from
different countries in both Europe and Africa.  I did not look into it too
far, but it seemed a little bit fishy and the companies that they claimed to
represent didn't seem to exist.  I prefer to keep it in the family so to
speak so I sold my SE-R to someone I know could appreciate it, or use it's
parts.  There are tons of shady people out there who are willing to do
anything to make a buck.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I was approached
through email about my ad in the classified section of
your site.  It was from a foreign email account and
they were offering to buy my car with a cashier's
check.

I did some investigating, and this seems to be a very
present fraud going on right now on the net.

There is some information on
