scammer

[dryfter]

*sigh*
Still haven't sold the Honda Bros. Had about 5 people be interested in it, but no-one has actually bothered to turn up and look - even the two who said they were coming around :/
Today I received this email, obviously a scam:

From: Martin Laurence <martin_laurenceautos@yahoo.com>

I am MARTINS LAURENCE,i am located in the United State Of American,in Texas.I am hereby interested in purchasing your VAN in which you have advertised and i will be happy to know if the VAN is still available for sale and the best price of the VAN and the present conditions of the VAN and i am sure that this is in a very good condition,kindly let me know the best price and the payment will be made to you by a creditor client who is located in United Kingdom through the certified cheque drawn out a company in United Kingdom.And concerning the shippment and collection of the VAN,do not worry your self about the shippment,i have a reliable shipping agent who will be coming for the picking up of the VAN at your location in time.
Hope to hear back from you so that we can move on with the payment and shipping of the VAN.
Awaiting to hear back from you soon.
MARTIN

(The scam is that the cheque he'd give me would be a fake, and would bounce, whereas I'd already have sent off the bike *and* some cash with his agent.)
I've contacted the police via their fraud alert email address, but I doubt much will come of it.
