Be alert of truck buying scam

I was contacted by a "joel_400@excite.com" after posting my Blazer for sale on this site. At the onset I thought he was truly interested in it, but quickly realized it is only another scam. He wanted to pay me more than my asking price($10,000 more),because he said his west african client owed him money,and of course needed my phone ,fax , and other bank #'s, so I could pay the shipper and send the balance.
I told him I only wanted the asking price, but he insisted on this as a "favour".
His name (probably fake) is Joel Holloway from west Africa (also probably fake).
Just wanted to let you know about this. Hope no one has fallen for this scheme.
