Default email #3 from car scam

Michael,
Thanks for the quick reply. my client is willing to pay $9500 for your car.However, you have to give ussome time to contact our client on phone, we have been trying his line for sometime now i believe is switched off, The amount in the check he deposited for the order is bigger than what should be paid to you, though it's meant for the total expenses which includes the purchase , the pick up and the shipping bills. so we want to know if we shall carry on with that or if he will make arragement for another check ASAP. he is presently in saudi arabia . just hang on ,i will get back to you as soon as i conclude issues with him.Acknowledge and get back if suitable with you .
regards mac.......... hahahahah, what an idiot, I'm asking $7450, just to prove it was a scam I emailed him saying lowest I'd go is $9500. Now what to do. Call him out or get the check and frame it?

Default How do they know what their "client" is willing to pay if they cannot contact him?

Call the cops.
