Ok so recently I put my Nyceboi emblem up for sale in the classifieds.
I received a few emails one in particular I wanted to bring to peoples attention:
Attn Seller,
My name is chris,i am a reputable dealer of goods and services,i
buy goods for my clients.right now i have a client that is interested
in your said SVT Nyceboi for sale let me know the cost of your price
I though ok this guy is a little weird but if he wants the emblem and the other deals fall through then alright..... so I replied, well today this is what I got:

I have heard about scammers that do this and then they get your cash (because their check bounces that you cashed for them) AND they have your car.... you dont know this though until about two weeks after the fact..after you car, and money is already gone...
Well sad part is that I am only selling the SVT badge and not a whole car so none of this email makes any sense....
Just watch out everyone because they are on these boards.
This is the second instance I have heard about this happening on these boards.
This is where the post came from so be carefull if you get a similar email from this email
"chris john" <chris_auto@outgun.com>
Where could I report this to?
