We are interested in buying your above mentioned ADR Fuel Rims w/ Pirelli Tires at advertised rate. Rims w/ Pirelli Tires will be picked up from your location for onward shipping to London. Cost and modalities of shipping to be born by us.

Payment for the purchase is by check through a debtor in US. The debtor owes us higher than our purchase. He will therefore be sending you a check for $6,000 to cover the cost of our order, as well as the Shipping costs.

On receipt of the check, you will cash and deduct the cost of our order .The balance you will send as we would instruct you to the Agency that will ship the Rims w/ Pirelli Tires to us. If this arrangement suites you fine, please send us your address where to send the check, as well as the name to be on it. Also send us your phone number for easy communication.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you.

Best Regards

Actually...I've heard of these scams and here's what ends up happening:

You get the check in the mail, you cash it and get the money. You end up sending the "extra" payment to the buyer. So, it seems you've got money in your pocket from the sale...until a few days later the bank tells you that the check was bad and you are to return the money back to the bank. Only now, you have just part of the original $6,000, while the buyer has your money. So, you end up losing money and the buyer gets a payment from you for nothing, and by this time you've already shipped the rims out. So basically, unless you feel like paying someone to take the rims off your hands, then it's probably not a good idea.
