MG ZR ZS ZT Technical - Another Scam !!!!!!!!!!!!

Beware folks there is another idiot out there who thinks we're all stupid. Similar to previous scams this one offers to send an overpayment by cheque & asks you to send the difference to cover shipping costs.

Below is a copy of the giveaway e-mail - note the name folks & DO NOT fall for this!!!

hello ,
Thanks very much for the reply and God bless. .
Since you are saying the right thing about the MG i'm ok.
I need the it badly. Well,not to waste time becos i need It urgently.
i quite agreed to pay £750 for it becos of the urgency in need of it.
But this is how we are going to seal the transaction becos of delays and fastness.
There is one of my assosiates in the UK, who is oweing me the sum of £4,000 in which i will ask him to issue a cashier check or Money Order of the total money oweing me to you and you will deduct the
total cost of the item and send the balance to me via MoneyGram .The reason why i am doing this is because a check sent within UK
especially Money Order clears almost immediately.Concerning the
shipping i've a shipping firm here that will just come for the pick up after the payment becos they are cheaper and faster and i've been dealing with them for years.
But the only thing is for you to send the balance so as to pay them for thepick up.
Kindly promise to send the balance to me becos i'm doing this transaction on trust level .
I'm a Man of God with faith and honest.So if this offer is okay by you send me your contact information(name and address) to which my assosiate will address the check to .. so that everything will be ready in time..
Thanks once again as i await your response.Greetings to your family.Have a niceday.
Regards
Mr ALFERD MACINTOSH.

HEHEHE i love this type of email.

i always reply to them using a duff email address sending them false details including bank account numbers etc. then i just sit back and imagine their faces lighting up when they get the reply and get excited as they try and use the bank details then find out they are false.
