My girlfriend has had her car on sale on autotrader. She has recieved a few e-mails and one paticular person showed great interest.
She said that this person offered to send a check for the car and that someone else would come collect her car and it would be shipped to another country 
Sounds a wee bit dodgey to me and i think i recall reading something on here about dodgey offers for peoples cars through e-mails. Anyone recall similar dodgey e-mails cos i had a dodge one for my car i had advertied on here.
Any info will be much appriciated guys
