Sounds fishy to me .... I'd go get the latest version of Ad-Aware. You might have some spyware on your pc that is contributing to this.

Yes that's a scam.
NO spyware is not causing the problem.

Thanks, I just won't respond anymore to his e-mails. anyone else interested in my car  
Seriously tho, this is the second time i've been led on a run around trying to sell this thing.. A guy up the street offered to buy and then kept putting of the day he was going to show up, finally found out he partied and spent 1800 bucks on something... hmm wonder what that was...

If you like, have the guy send me the check and I'll tell you whether it's legit. For a small fee, of course.

You'd think that these people would at least take the time to properly format their form letter and use proper grammar, etc., on something they probably send out to hundreds of people each week.
That thing just echos of scam.
