I guess they don't get tired. I just checked my e-mail and the guy from South Africa wanted to buy my Case SC no questions asked.

Probably the same guy who wanted to buy some parts from me. Said he had a customer in the us who owed him money, and that his customer would pay me what he owed him, and I take out what I need for the parts and send the rest of the money to him. He asked no questions about the crank, more concerned if I would exchange the money for him. His excuse is that it would take a couple of months for the money to clear over there. He didnt respond back when I asked him about tractor pulling in south africa, and what he needed a stroker crank for.

I also had two guys, one supposedly a broker from England and person from South Africa contact me about a tractor I have for sale. They did not ask any questions, just wanted to buy it. After I told them that it would not ship until bank verified cashiers check was valid and that I would under no circumstanses send them any money, I never heard from them again.

I've had alot of inquires like that. I had one guy from Europe contact me. I told him the parts would NOT ship until the payment had clear my bank, needless to say he didn't want the parts I had for sale. Just beware of any overseas inquires and usually they don't even ask any questions about what you have for sale like people do that are truly interested.

This was attempted with me as well.He went so far as to send a bank check that ended up being forged.but good enough to clear at the bank for a short while.good thing this mistake was caught in time or I would have been out 3200 dollars.for he asks that you send him his commision back.Then has the nerve to call and ask that you operate in good faith.the son of a -----. Dont be fooled this guy said he was from Nigeria so watch out.

That won't work ; he bought the woodshed & it's shipped already . Don't these guys ever tire out or get caught by the authorities ?
