Is this a scam?
 

Well I read about a scam on the other Mazda club site that sounded like this message I just got on my ad on Cars.Com. Is this a scam or what?

Yes. Would seem like it. Any type of payment that takes like 8 sentences to explain can't be real :p:

Yes huge scam...stay away !!

scam - sounds like the one I got for when i was trying to sell my car. we will pay you $16000 for you car, you refund us the $4000 difference - blah blah blah.. got 3 differenct emails trying this scam, sent them on the the fraud department of autotrader.com - came from dealerleads@autotrader.com

Hell, yeah.

This was after emailing the back and saying... "yah.. sounds like a scam to me" ;)

Yeah, I go on eBay a lot and get that crap all the time, just send an e-mail back with the word scam anywhere in it and you wont hear from them again!

yep.. it's just wierd, tried selling my van, got an email like that, then was selling my blue car... got another email very similar - it's bad, people actually fall for the crap! you end up giving them your vehicle and a couple of thousand bucks to boot!
