    Stock for now
    tell them that you have sent the check, scan your middle finger and attach it to the email as a proof. I can't believe people still try these scams.

    This is fraud; I work for a bank & we are alereted to new scam scenarios. This is one of them. You send the money but never get the car or in your case the truck. Plus most of these scammers are overseas and can't spell or conjugate the english language properly.
    " the car on your name." "until the car is on your name ! )" he probably meant in your name.
