Please, PLEASE report this! Get in contact with an officer and have them pose as you. Have the money orders sent to the address of the police station. Give them an officers phone number. I had a friend who fell victim of the exact same scam. You would be doing everyone a favor by helping convict these thieves.

Please, Tony Yeung, PM me.

Open a separate account and tell him to wire the funds directly into that account. I agree with most folks, give him a fake address and mess around with the guy just for fun.

I would reply back and say that you are currently in Nigeria on a business trip. Your shipper friend can assist in the transfer of the car. You just need him to send a deposit through Western Union for $100.00 to help with the transaction fee.
