Just tell him the tires now cost 2500 bucks and it sounds like he should have no problems paying for them.

I like the "wait for him with a gun" idea but another way might be to have him mail you something like his address and company name "for your records" then contact postal inspectors. Any scam involving the use of mail is taken VERY seriously by those folks and they will deal with the Canadians for you. Good luck especially if you go for that gun thing.

The whole point of this scam is to get your bank account numbers - that request would probably come in email #3. Usually some story about since it's an international transfer he needs your bank account number to direct transfer that (hahahahaha) $2,500 check.

Of course, if you don't want to seel him thse tires, I'm sure you can find an African country that needs to transfer about 35 million to your account. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
