I got a very similar ( almost identical) message in response to an Ebay listing that was totally unrelated to MC parts. I believe this person is getting names/addresses off Ebay. Person was eager to buy my item ($3000), but although I clearly listed in the ad no credit cards, he inquired about international shipping using his credit card to "save time". His letter was so obviously bogus---especially after having read the postings here. I told him I would be happy to ship if pre-paid by money order/bank check and of course never heard from again---I will say one thing though...since that time I've been getting lots of attempts to send me viruses. This is either one person or some organized "gang" over there.

Kurt: you've got mail.

Panic !,,,We do some exporting in our field of buisness. #1,, get his credit card number and run it through,make sure it is american funds,If it goes through,, your ok! #2,, you can go to the bank and do an international wire transfer, they should provide you with bank cert.documents, when you receive payment,then you can ship the goods,this could be a good time to clean off your shelfs,,,good luck,Yankee,,,,LIVE FREE OR DIE !
