Be careful! Be VERY Careful! Don't give your bank account number to
anyone you don't know. Just like the Nigerian SCAM that is going around
the internet, this is likely to end up depleting your bank account and
losing your car.
Demand that you get the funds in the form of a certified Bank check (in
advance of the transfer of the car's ownership).
