Message	I got a bunch of similar email in responses when trying to buy a 350z from canada. He even went on to give me the url for the shipping agency as well as a shipping number after I told him I mailed the payment (which i never did).... There is a website that tells you if fraud has been reported through someone's website. (i.e. if the site for his "south Export" has any fraud reported in similar transactions) More over if he says he has a private shipping agency and also has his name on an export company I'd think that he is the "private shipper"
