I recently received a response regarding the Sonett III I have posted for sale. Naturally, I've dealt with the overseas scammers in the past and simply don't give them the time of day, but this seems pretty legitimate. I've included some dialogue with the potential buyer below. I realize the grammar and command of the English language is certainly less-than-perfect, but I did receive a voicemail message from the potential buyer and he does indeed have a very genuine and strong Swedish accent. Anyone here have any experience with an overseas purchase?
Text excerpts from the potential buyer:
"I transfer money into your bank account, once you have them, so I order
an towtuck and pick up the car and drag it to Houston
If you need references for my reliability, so you can see on my feedback on
Ebay, where I have 100%

I've called you several times without response, area code unknown? This is
because I am calling from Sweden,dont worry and answer,its only me.
I am a Volvo and Saab collector, who bought cars before from the U.S.
without any problems
1.I have paid with banköverförig in most cases, and always worked well, the bank will help you to SWIFT code, bank account and more, you need not
disclose your personal account number, the bank will help you.
2nd The shipment will help a Swedish company with me in Houston, (North
Traffic) and they have a collaboration with:
Hal-Mari International Logistics, Inc
9122 Telephone Road
Houston, TX 77,075
Phone 713-644-0444
Fax 713-547-5968
http://www.halmari.com
And there goes the car with a towtuck that this firm North Traffic help me
with."

I definitely don't want a good deal to slip away from me, but I also don't want to get in the middle of a huge headache, either. What are the proper steps that need to be taken in order to ensure that once money is transferred, it can in no way be reversed or my account information used in an unacceptable manner? Someone enlighten me, please! Drive safely and KEEP ON SAABING!!!
