Duh! Ofcourse it's fraud. Remember this...If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is bogus...

As Alpha said! This has been posted before about them. I hope no one thinks they just got lucky, because if they did they just lost they're money![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

Hey mxraptor!careful with out of the country deals like this one.I had a person from Nigeria,contact me and made me an offer on a quad that I have for sale,an offer to send a check for over the amount and wanted me to send the extra money via western union,after the check was received I went to my bank and had them do a scan on the cashiers check.After that I contacted the bank from were the check was purchased,and they said it was a BOGUS check and that they had received various claims, but the local authorities were looking for this thieves.After this I email the person back and told what was going on,and never heard from them again! I hope everybody on the forums read this and be careful who you deal with,and dont be scammed!!!!!!!!
