I emailed him a while back... told me the car was in some embasy parking garage at his wifes work. He said he was "born dumb" he is mute and cant speak. He said I would have to deposite money on an escrow page before he drive the vehicle over to my place.... I donno but sounds like a scam to me

Well heres the actual email he sent me...


Hello,
My name is ECKSON ADRIANO
Sorry for the delay,i am a very busy person and i don't read my email each day. Now,i'm back and I want to assure you that the car is still for sale.
The car is now in a garage at the SPAIN embassy in 2375 Pennsylvania Av. NW , 20037 Washington D.C. , were my wife is working and If you are still interested to buy my car(TOYOTA SUPRA 1997 TWIN TURBO PRICE: $9900),I have a contract with a Shipping Comapny and I can ship it any were on my expense .
I have the car ready for shipping. I am sorry because I can't meet you, but I'm always on the road some small but important deals. My wife is out of the country for couple of weeks and with this war against Iraq, she will be moved in SPAIN for couple of years,and we will stay there. This is the reason I sell the car.
I want you to know that I am a difficult person to make deals with because I am a born dumb (mute) person. If you don
