The Above email is easily identified as a scam, The first clue is the phrase "I am intersted in your advert," Scammers often do not bother to read the full advert or even bother to personalize the email. Scam emails rarely make specific enquiry's about the item. Sometimes just a vague reference to "emailing them photos and description. (often no reference to the actual item)

The words that are the definitive scam indication are these

"In regards to the shippment,i am making arrangement with my shipper
who will come for the pick up as soon as this transaction is sealed."

The object of the scammer is to give you a check for a larger amount than the cost of the item. (This is often done by explaining to you that there is a need to pay for the transport, this is easiest done If the scammer) Gives you a Certified check ( a very nice forgery))

The scammer now simply asks you to forward the excess money to the freight company. (this will always be a cash transfer of some sort where the cash is not directed to a name address type location. That can be located at a later date)

Never send money to someone you can not identify FORWARD ANY CHECKS (CHEQUES) TO THE AUTHORITIES
