Here are my account numbers, just steel my $ and I will still ship you the car...... I have gotten about 10 of these type emails for some reason recently... ???? They really don't even care about the condition of the Porsche in general.

Yeah it's a well known scam at this point.

They send you a fake cashiers check, you deposit it, your bank accepts it, you send them the car and the money they paid you over the sale amount, a month later your bank calls and says the check was bad and you are out money and/or car as well.
