Dmitry wants to buy my car!
And so the saga begins.
As you may know, I'm trying to sell my car. I posted it in the for-sale sections of www.i-club.com, www.nabisco.com, www.teamintrinsic.com. That's it.
Today I got an email from Dmitry... I think you know the scam. Let's see how much of this guy's time we can waste.

Nick,
Thanks for reply
Yes, I am prepared. Russia import formalities are on my side and I know how much is the russian import duty and VAT on the car. I would like you just to organise the freight. Could you give me an idea on cost of the one?

He wants to know how much it'll cost to ship to St. Petersburg.
How the hell should I know? 'Hi, Fedex? Yeah, I've got a 3000lb package to deliver to Russia, what'll that cost me?'
I emailed an international shipping company but they wanted my phone number and I didn't want to give it to them, and they haven't gotten back to me.

Got this today on a different email address:
FROM THE DESK OF ELVIS DAVIS
chairman contract Awarding Committee
Federal Republic of Togo
Dear Nick,
I know this message will come to you as a big surprise because we have
not met before, but please do not think this is one of those scam or junk
mails you received in your email box/fax machine and which I, myself receive also.My name is ELVIS DAVIS .I am from the Federal
Republic of Togo and also the chairman, contract-awarding committee of my country Lome -Togo.I have been on this position for the
past ten years; but I have nothing to show for it. I will love it, if the both of us could do business together, which both of us
will richly profit from.
Since I am the chairman contract Awarding Committee of my country, I
will award a Fifteen million US dollars ($15 million USD) contract in your
favor to supply farming equipments tractors and harvesters. A Mobilization up front fee of Ten million U.S Dollars ($10 million USD)
will be given to
you to start the supply. But as soon as the mobilization fee gets to your
hands, you are not going to do any supply. You and myself will share this
mobilization up front fee on a 50-50 basis (Equally). The reason why I
want us to share this start up fee is because I have been in this position
as the chairman for the past twelve years, and I don’t have a personal house of my own, my salary is a peanut. I cannot adequately
take care of my children. In fact, things are very difficult for me. If I retire, I will have nothing to fall back on.
People come sometimes to seek for favor from me and after awarding them
contracts; they’ll not remember me again. A lot of people promised and
failed me. As a result of this, I want to help myself this time because
I’ll not want to die a poor man. If we do this business together, with your
full co-operation and support we will finish the business within ten working
days, since I am still the person who will release the start up fee to
you. You have nothing to fear.
I want you to remove anything like fear from your mind. This is the
safest business you can ever think of. I will give you more information on how we are going to do this business as soon as I receive
your reply showing that you are ready to do the business with me. But please do not discuss this business with anybody, even your
best friends until we have finished successfully.
I will want you to reply me immediately so that I can tell you the next
step to take.
Regards.
ELVIS DAVIS.

What are you, a magnet for this stuff? My folks got something similar several years back and they forwarded it straight to the BBB.

Holy crap. Median age in Togo is 17.3 years.
but life expectancy is 53 years?
4.97 children born to every woman (average)
6% of the population has hiv/aids (2001 estimate)
Language is french with some other African languages being common.
60% of the population over 15 years can read and write.
Currency code is the XOF. Funny that he gets his email through where?
