    Give him the address of the local cop shop and use the name of the local sergent... ;)

    Yeah it's definitely a scam. I had the same email. Said he was from Norway. Was barely even interested in negotiating the price.

    You should email the buyandsell to inform them of this type of scam.

    Took myself and a friend a while to figure out how it was a scam. We both kind of thought that a bankers draft was cash in hand... But it's not. It can bounce up to two weeks later (according to wiki)

    Did you read the thread? He does not want an account number, he wants a refund from a too-large dud bank draft.

    Not your ornery onager
