I just got an e-mail telling me I have $6 million in a Nigerian bank account, can I use that to put down the deposit?

I don't think he needs that much, Nigel. After deposit, you should have $5,995,000 left in the account. Well, unless there is a wiring fee.

Sounds like he would take the $5 500 deposit and while you're "waiting" he is busy taking multiple deposits from as many other people as he can before he then disappears and no one gets a car - if one even existed in the first place.
The other classic tactic of the scammer is to try to sound legitimate by playing the victim and accusing you of being a scammer or time waster: "DO NOT CALL OR RESPOND IF YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO DEFRAUD OR CATCH ME IN YOUR SCHEMES. REAL SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY."
Shouldn't this thread just be locked and probably deleted before someone actually does respond?
Deleting the thread would mean deleting the insightful posts here. Should they turn out to be correct, they would be useful for helping PREVENT someone falling into the trap...Originally Posted by dsm363
Good point. Not everyone reads entire threads though. If this is a scam, maybe the mods can add a warning to the title of the thread 'likely scam' or something similar.

The zip code above is for "Ione, CA" (near Sacramento) far from Beverly Hills.
I can't seem to find any 8432 Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills.
More red flags, I suppose.
