beware what comes in your email

I have a Harley for sale. I got a response a week or so ago showing interest. This is what I got from that same person today. Lynn from Lynnwood, WA

I'm sorry for my late response. My transfer letter arrived yesterday. I work With WHO (World Health Organization). I will be leaving for Athens today.(this transfer took a quick infect because most of our staff are been deploy to help out in the tsunami disaster.

I'm ok with the condition stated in the ads, consider it sold to me. do me a favor by removing the ads from the website that it was placed for sale.

I have made arrangement for the payment and shipping of the 1996 Harley Davidson. My client that owes me money will issue you a cashier's check on my Behalf.He will issue a cashier's check for $37,200.00.I will offer you $12,500.00 for it.When you receive the check you will deduct your funds and send the rest balance via western union money transfer to the Moving and forwarding company that will handle the shipping of the 1996 Harley Davidson.I would have been happy if my client issue you separate checks. But it takes 21 working days for a cashier's to clear in Western Europe(The moving and forwarding company is located in Western Europe)Note that charges incurred for sending the excess funds via western union to the shipping company will be deducted from my excess funds.

You can go ahead and contact the moving and forwarding company via e-mail so that you request for the information that you will use in sending the excess funds to them and furnish them with the address that the 1996 Harley Davidson will be pick up from. There e mail address is snipped-for-privacy@europe.com Attention your mail to Mr. Mike Zazworksy. Please confirm the name and address that the cashier's check will be made out to.Thanks for your patience and understanding.I will alway keep in touch Regards Mr and Mrs Wlash.

OMG... I hope you contacted your local feds. They keep up with this stuff. just go to the fbi website and find your local field office.. most of the time these guys do this to fund terrorist stuff. There was a big article in the NYTimes a while back about it.

I don't understand how this scam works? A cashiers check made out to the seller, then the seller cashes said check and sends the balance on to the buyer...seems weird to me, but where's the scam? I tend to be naive about things sometimes, so I like to be prepared! TIA, Arleen
