Have come across this type of scam a few times.Usually they pay you with a stolen cheque and because it takes the bank an age to tell YOU that its stolen,people think that all is ok and send the scammer a cheque in return.
You'd be suprised at how many people fall for this type of fraud.Usually because they are greedy and think it sounds like a good deal.
From the bad typo/name it sounds like an African scamming team.Dont reply,keep the e-mails just in case.They are quite persisant,so expect a few more e-mails before they move on.Hope this is of some help.

They wait for a response .... no response means it ends generally.
Has anyone ever thought of a double-scam? Some way that they can think they have you, but in fact YOU scam them!!
Wouldn't that be great!!!

Had this too, when I was selling my escort cab.
I was told they have a market for them.
I just told them to purchase my car for the low asking price and offer it to their market and make a tidy profit.
As you can guess they just wanted my money
