Counterfeiting scam

I received a call Friday night from an Email translator from a person from overseas. They were interested in a car I had listed for parts in the classifieds here. It was a confusing conversation relayed between operators, but the other party said he wanted to purchace the car. I told him U.S. sales only but he didn't care. He could not figure out how to use the email reply or something so he called my phone number at 1:30 in the morning. The operator said that the call was from West Africa and it was no charge. Anyway a received an Email from another brickboard member that said they were Emailed from West Africa. Aparently some guys there are involved in some sort of counterfeiting scam and are looking for cars and parts to purchace over the internet. Be Aware of this problem. Hopefully I won't get a bill for that call.
