Yea, Going on a lot, and with many marques....several friends in the Mercedes club have also been contacted. What they did was get the "Cashiers Check", and frame it. Makes a nice wall hanging, as most are done extremely well. Both friends just told the guy that the difference they requested was on its way. Only one called back to find out where it was (several weeks later). When told the Cashiers check bounced, they hung up, end of transaction. So if you want a nice souvenir of today's latest scams, go ahead and ask them to send you a check!!!
