i've heard of these email scam things and the bit in the email that talks about contacted british associates sounds a bit iffy to me

whats peps opinions

email:

i saw your advert about selling your car and i will like to know the condition, price, year and the picture if available and everything i need to know about it so that i can contact my business associate in uk to issue to you a certified british cashier cheque as a mode of payment. kindly mail me back asap.
