This is almost verbatim of the scam letter that Everett Barnes warns of on
the samba. He ships you a check for more than the asking price, asks you
to wire him the difference, his payment is a fraudulent certified
check. His check bounces after a couple of weeks. His so called shipping
agent never shows and you still have your bus and less of course the money
you wired him.
Again, I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole; or a German or a Frenchman
either for that matter.
