Wow, money laundering or just plain ripoff with a fake check?
Or just a ripoff for the person overseas who gets the car at an inflated
price?
These things just naturally make me suspicious, although there is a good
deal of this type of purchasing going on legitimately.
I would still steer clear of that last one though. In my mind anyone who
asks if you can be trusted with their money that way is only trying to
divert you from any mistrust you may have yourself.
