 Clarice Cliff

An advertiser seeking to sell Clarice Cliff through 'The FREE Ads Forum' received this email having already entered into negotiations with the supposed 'buyer' using a yahoo address.

Similar email have been received by eBay vendors after their auctions appeared to have achieved a genuine sale and bidder.

Thanks for your mail back, i must say i am very happy. not to worry concerning the price you gave to me, i will be ready to pay (the amount was under £200) pounds for it without the shippment cost as soon as possible on one condition, that the item remains the same until the time of pickup by my shipper. it is quite unfortunate that i will not be in town as from this week because i will be going on a business trip with a construction company in china and i don't know when i will be returning, but not to worry i have already made out payment options with my client.i will instruct my client who i just finished a job worth 3000 pounds to issueing you a bankers draft cheque of 3000 pounds for the payment of the item, and the shippment will be handled by my shipping company. so i will instruct him to send the cheque of the amount 3000 pounds to you so that you can cash it at the nearest cashing outlet close to you, deduct the amount for your item and send the remaining balance to my shipper via any despatch organisation preferably (WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER ) for easy collection, so that he can make arrangement for coming over to your place for the shippment of the item because i want the item to be at my place by the time i return. i would have cashed the cheque himself but where i reside in france the cashing oulet there are no longer functioning and he can't wait untill they resume work because he will be leaving this week for china. please i will like you to do me a favour.

1. help me cash the cheque and deduct the amount of the item
2. send the remaining balance to my shipper immediately you cash the check.
3. give me a brief description of the route to be taken by my shipper from the airport to your place.

i will be very happy if you can do this for me and i will be willing to give you an extra 50pounds for you help and time and an extra 20pounds for your transportation fares to enable you cash and send the funds fast, though it is a very small token.
if you are okey with this arrangement i will like you to give me the following informations because it will be on the cheque.

1. FULL NAME
2. STREET ADDRESS
3. CITY/ TOWN
4. COUNTRY
5. TELEPHONE NUMBER.

please i will be counting on you and if you can help me cash the cheque and i know i would do the same for you if you were in my shoes and i assure you that anytime i come over to your country i will make sure that i come over to your place so that we can know each other better, because i think you will be a good person to associate with.
Thank you and i hope to hear from you soonest.
best regards to your family.

n.b: please be honest with me.
We think this is very much a case of 'seller beware'!
