Only scammers end emails like this. If you had any doubts this line puts them to rest. Only shady businessmen claim to be honest. and "I need a faithful and loyal person" "I hope to read back from you soon" Its pretty obviously What hes looking for and its not buying your car. | ||

I always wonder why no phone calls. You did think that one scammer will find out that having phone calls will leave them at a competitive advantage. Pay-as-you-go phones are a dime a dozen these days, even cheaper with VOIPs. | ||

Anytime one gets an email praising one for being trustworthy despite never having met them, it's almost certainly a scam. I doubt they are trying to steal the car though, it's a long drive back to Nigeria. My guess is that after an email or two, it would turn out this guy needs a cash advance to get money from his grandmother's estate/bank/some bullshit. After which point you would never hear from them again. | ||
