<div> <font size="2">Three things are -- to me, at least --
dead giveaways that this person is up to no good, one way or
another.<br>
<br>
First, that opening line -- "I hope this message finds you
well" How many American speakers do YOU know who ever begin
an email with that salutation?<br>
<br>
Second, he says he's from Calif. NOBODY is from "Calif" --
anyone living here would tell you immediately whether they
were from SoCal or NorCal. <br>
<br>
Third, he refers to the "British Car Club" -- I don't know
of any such club... Maybe there is a "Santa Cruz BCC" (At
least there used to be one) and there are some British Car
lists, but the only "Clubs" I know about are marque clubs --
If this guy was legit, I'd expect him to say he was from one
of the local chapters of AHCA or was in AHCUSA.<br>
<br>
So, each of those multiplies the probability that he is
phishing for some real connection to scam. (though there is
still an outside chance could be a recent emigre working for
one of the exotic car brokers (Beverly Hills, Gull Wing,
Hyman, Palm Beach, etc).<br>
<br>
I'd dump it into the scam trash. <br>
