I am selling my 420 sel mercedes on craigslist and a guy who seemed interested in it offered me a offer. Everything seemed okay, but his responses seem so robotic and he asked me for a detailed description of how the car runs and I told him.

He sent a email back saying
"'m quite impressed at your stated details of the vehicle and I am willing to proceed. Do send me the name and address via which I will make out the check payment and upon receipt and confirmation, I will have my agent come over to pick up the car for delivery."

Seems fishy, has anyone heard of a scam like this?

Thanks
 
SCAM for sure. Any time they mention an "agent" it is a scam. They will want to send immediate payment for over the asking price using a money order. They wish you to cash it and send their "shipper" the overage. The money order is a phony and by the time your bank discovers it, you have sent real funds to them and you have been taken.
