[Chevelle-list] Fwd: chevelle scam

[A.J. and Jean]

My neighbor got sucked in with a scam just like this. He was buying a 
trailer from a guy who was relocating to England, and the pitch sounds 
almost exactly as his was.  They would deliver it to him and all he 
needed to do was to open an account with this "finance" company and they 
would act as a intermediary and hold the money until all parties were 
satisfied.  Unfortunately he lost.
