Aircraft purchase scam

This sounds all very fishy to me.

I am not interested in proceeding with this transaction.

that I won\'t be able to come over to view the
aircraft, as we have just concluded our meeting here
in the UK and I have been handed a letter of transfer
that commences from tomorrow.

Am sending you a comprehensive mail with the way
things are going to go through because I have just
been posted out of the state to Western Europe for
official responsibilities (W.H.O.)

The shipping and moving firm will have to meet with
the owner of the aircraft but I know there won\'t be
any transaction unless you have given my words and
approval.

Payment has been drawn out to your name so as to
proceed with this transaction. A check/ Bank Draft of
$145,000 will be sent to you, you will take 20% of it
as deposit for the airplane just to make sure that it
is not sold to any other person, and to pull off the
ads on any advert that it might have posted on.

You will make sure the rest are been remitted to the
shipping and Moving Firm so as to enable them carry
out all the inspections and rightful responsibilities
as regards to this transaction, because they have
confirmed to me that unless they receive some part
payment ASAP. They won\'t be coming over to the state.

As soon as they confirm the status of the transaction
successful and approved by government that is after
going through inspections and all legal proper
documentaries the complete funds for the aircraft will
be wired into your nominated account before the
release of the title or the change of ownership
documents.

I will need you to provide me with either your company
name or name and address that will be attention to the
check/Bank Draft.

Thanks for your understanding and effort.

Please keep me advised as to any additional
requirements you have.

Respectfully John.

Dear Mr. Kingsbury,

I am reachable via one of the two telephone numbers
listed. If you do reach me on one number, then try the other.

The minimum price for the aircraft is $165, 000.

There are plenty of photographs and all specs of the
aircraft at www.n614jd.info. I don\'t really know what additional
photographs or specs you are asking for or what else to send.

My schedule is open so please feel free to pick and
day and time to view the aircraft.

This IS a scam, I just received the exact same message regarding my
airplane, but with $295,000 instead of your $145,000. I think I'll
reply to him just so I can waste his shipping fees. Nobody buys an
airplane without having first looked at it and talked to the owner on
the phone.

How the scam works is they send you an international cheque for the
$145K. It is a forgery. You deposit it, keep your 20% and give the rest
to the scammer or his associate. Your bank does not find out the cheque
is no good for a few weeks. By then they have vanished with your money.

There are variations on this.

Another scam - if someone comes to your front door saying they are checking
for ticks due to the change in the weather and asks you to take your clothes
off and dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! They only want to
see you naked!

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid!

Hey, we see a similar scam at the hotel. It's always a British
"doctor" who wishes to reserve 15 suites for thus and such a period of
time, but can't be bothered with on-line booking agents like
Travelocity.

He'll promise to send me "X" thousands of dollars, which I must send
20% of to someone else because of...well, you get the point.

I used to string 'em on for weeks, just for fun. Now I just delete
'em.

The other issue that none of the gullible ever think of, is that if
the deal were "real" they will owe city, state, and federal, income
taxes on the entire amount... Since a sudden extra 100K or 200K, or
whatever, passed through their hands they are also now subject to AMT
in addition...
Oh well, someone pointed out that no one ever went bankrupt from
