Thanks anton :) as a matter of fact I bought 2 cars without looking at them, simply because it was an ebay auction on american vehicles and I knew the company's reputation.  I had reservations from the start about this person, glad I didn't take it any further.  I've notified a government website to warn others of this letter/email address, I put all the details on, hopefully they can trace the guy from the details provided! :)

cheers
