The last month I have worked with a man claiming to be from Belgim
with the name of Wesley Brown, AKA, wesley_agric@yahoo.co.uk He sent
a check for $3100 for my Ross Gearbox. It took ten days for the
check to arrive, and he emailed me every day.

I put the check in the bank and was going to Western Union [wire]
funds to a Michael Ogunlowo-Ibukun in Nigeria. The funds did not
come thru and I waited until today to find the $3100 check did
bounce. The [check] money was extracted from my account.  If I had
wired the money to Nigeria I would have been out the $1800.

He talked very broken, almost Iraki, and by phone I could not
understand him much. My good luck, was when my neighbor said this
type of scam was going around.

Be aware of this on airplane parts.

I had a similar occurrence several months back, and chose not to sell
due to my suspicious nature. I kept getting e-mails until I notified the
person in the UK, that his operation was determined (false) to be a scam.
Never heard from him again.
