and also keep other buyers off. I will send you a
check of 6000 pounds Can I trust you to have it
cashed, take 2250 pounds and send the balance to the

it probably is. A mate of mine sold his car on ebay, got his dad to bid to bump it up a little. When the auction ended, his dad didnt win it, which was the plan, but he got a second chance offer off some random guy claiming he was the owner of the car. Wanted a deposit like in your case

Sad state of affairs when some dodgy foreigner comes on to a British web site talking English and people reply because they can't distinguish his bad English from normal conversation.
That for me stands out a mile as a complete and utter blatent scam and some people have replied following up the interest.
You will lose your money.

I have to agree with Ian about being able to spot it a mile away, I don't even bother wasting my time reading emails like that.
How people can be fooled by it is beyond me.
