gee, now there's a shocker!

The words "Nigerian" and "scam" have become firmly linked, very similar to the words, "mother" and "******" !

This from USPS:
"Postal Money Orders are a safe, convenient, and economical alternative to sending cash through the mail. They can be purchased from any Post Office™ in the United States as well as from any rural route carrier. Postal Money Orders are available up to $1,000 with a daily limit of $10,000 per customer. A current government-issued or state-issued picture identification is required for money order purchases over $3000 in a single day."

No mention is made about a foriegn national buying U.S. postal money orders !!! So is the money order U.S. or a foreign one ??

These guys are right..SCAM.....

Ona....take this friendly..........

You need to get your life in order. Screw the vette, you can always buy another. You need to focus on work, nothing else, not internet, no cars, nothing..........Get it together, then buy and custom all you want. Priorities man.......an nice place to live, always comes before a vette. How many really nice vettes you seen sitting in trailer parks?

I like your posts, and like your car, but you have some serious decisions to make, and the car should not even be a part of it.....

Good luck!!

You're digging a hole.......It will take you forever to pay off all the money. Go to work for an existing stable company. Then take night classes or whatever to continue you education. You are going to get in debt so bad that you won't ever see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I love being young, dumb, and carefree. Was that way until about 32 yrs of age when I got married, and realized I needed to do something to get ahead in life........

Not saying you can't do it your way, but you are going to make it very difficult. I moved off to get my start, then moved back to my home state just a few years later!!

I wish you well, but please be careful with your finances!!
