for £2550!! which to be honest is way over the odds. I am a bit suspicious to be honest, the buyer sent me this email. It seems a bit dodgy to me, like its a template email or something...
Dear,
Thanks very much for your email.I have contact my
shipper and he told me that he will come for the pick
up of the Modified Vauxhall Corsa , from your place as soon
as this transaction is sealed. This is how the payment
will be made a client of mine is owing me some fund in
£6500 will instruct him to issue a check drawn on a
united kingdom bank in your name and once the banker's
draft,You will deduct the cost of the ADVERT and any
tax incurred and my balance will be send back to my
shipper via western union money transfer for immediate
shipping arrangement.
The reason for this is that it takes 4-5 days for a
cheque to clear there while it takes a longer time for
a cheque to clear here. If this is okay with you do
get back to me with your full name,contact address and
your phone number in order to instruct my client to
issue the check in your name asap Thanks for your
understanding in anticipation and hope toread from you
asap today.
Best regards,
Marc,
I will compensate you with £50 to remove the ad from
the internet as i want you to consider it sold to me.
Marc

Take the money, cash it and withdraw it. Then close your account.
Don't send them any money and don't give them your car.

The money they pay with is counterfeit.
They give you 6k, you give them 4k back, thinking you're only giving them back their money and you get to keep 2k which is more than enough to cover the cost of what you sold and any expenses you've incurred.
