"Be cos* am yet to pay the shipper that will deliver the car to your workshop because he does not have the facility to accept a credit card.... so i will need a little favor from you in respect to that" Yep, the old "I pay you and then you give this other guy cash" Then it turns out the check or money order he pays with are fakes or he gives you a stolen credit card and then you give his buddy cash. A lady called in on a radio program that her restaurant got a call from a guy that was in charge of supplying food for a big event and he wanted a bunch of one entree and he'd pay her with a credit card but he needed her to give cash to the delivery driver that was picking up the meals since he couldn't process a credit card. Similar to the less specific "I send you a money transfer for $20,000 and you just forward $17,000 of it to my business contact" When the transfer to you is found to be fraudulent they come after you for the $20,000 back but you've already sent on $17,000 in 'clean' money. I've seen news reports of people getting arrested for fraud for being the middle man in these situations. It is an oldie but a goodie: "If it seems to be too good to be true it probably is"
