Hey guys, got a possible transaction going on right now with a guy in the UK.
I don't know if this sounds normal or if there is something fishy about it so wanted to ask your opinions, but as far as it sounds (communication via email so far), doesn't seem like a scam.

Basically he's willing to buy my 04 focus zts (after seeing my ad) and since he's in UK he said his associate in the US will issue me a certified check for the total amount of my car + shipping fees (that he is paying for).

Then he said once my check arrives to me, i just deduct my asking price from it and the remaining funds will cover the shipping. I just wire it via Western Union to his international shipping agent (he has his own international shipping agent he said). Once he receives the balance, the shipping agent will come over and pick up my car. He said he'll pass along to me his shipper's address.

So the only thing he asked from me was to forward some info so he can give it to his associate who will be issuing the check. The info he requested of me was: my name, address (city/prov/postal) and my phone number. That's all.

So what should i do to make sure this is legit and protect myself from any possible scam here.

Obviously i'm not gonna give away my car until the check and the funds are cleared and in my bank.....that would suck to have someone just come and take my car and get no money for it lol.
