Hey everyone, this is another type of scam (yes, I get a LOT of these) but this type I wil show you how to shut them down. I usually send them back a big virus telling them it is all my bank info. But if you are not that computer literate, this is how you can report shit like this. When you receive a mail like this, 'right click' your mouse on it, then click on 'properties' then 'details' to see where it originated from. I then click 'forward' and send it to abuse@xxxx or abuse@xxxx in the body of the message. In this case, not only is it 'fastermail' but also 'outblaze' A copy of the 'cut and paste' of the 'properties' I did is at the very bottom of this email to look at. Best thing about this is most servers have a extremely LOW TOLERANCE for crap like this, and will shut down the offenders account in a heartbeat. And better yet, inseatd of just deleting it, which is easier than taking 10 seconds to do what I did above and forward it to their server, this hopefully will keep them from ripping off some old car owner! I have a file on my site about this problem and it is a BIG PROBLEM, as people automatically assume Cashiers Checks are good! They are NOT. And these idiots have gotten really good with counterfeiting cashiers checks! So simply again, cover your butt. Hopefully some of this stuff here will keep a honest AMC or mixed make fan from getting ripped off.
