Should I take this deal? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Remember the "Should I take this job?" someone posted here awhile back from an email they received. Well, I'm selling my old car and this guy emailed me. He doesn't know if the car starts and hasn't seen the car, not even a photo, but he's sold.
In his own words...

Thanks for your reply i really very impressed, well i'm planning to move up immediately woth the transation i have arrange for the shipping my self so you don't need to worry, but i could send the check i will to inform you how i arrange the shipment..My freight company would be coming for it at your place once we seal up payment. They would also attest to every doucment required for the change in ownership,all details about that would be provided by them also. Please do note that the check would behaving a face value of $4,500 which the excess fund is to be deposited via Western Union Money Transfer to them immediately you receive payment. with that they would be able to come for the pick up and other necessary things. Please do advise if this sounds satisfactory, send me your full name ,cell phone number and address. so i can give the go ahead in sending you
payment? . i look forward to read from you soonest

N:B your response is needed urgently so that i can carry out the payment immediately.

Jeff...


I can ask him if he's offering jobs if anyone is interested.

Also, what's "N:B"?

I can offer you a much better deal -- but first, I need your credit card number and your Social Security number.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Aside from his crap spelling... is he giving you time to see if the check clears before he's sending the trucks to pick up the car?

If not, ask for a money order.

Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

I'd suggest seeking the advice of your local police. Maybe he's just really eager and is being honest, but this sounds too much like a clean-out-your-home scam for my comfort level. The police might be able to check for you if it is a scam that has been documented before or if he's offering a legitimate business transaction with you.

Suffering from ads?

This is definitely a scam.

NB stands for Nota Bene - Latin for please note.

I think I first heard about it on the Clark Howard (radio program) show.
