Hello! My husband and I are purchasing a 4 wheeler from a man who actually lives near us in Atlanta, GA, but he is in the UK on business for the next 7 months. We found his ad for the ATV on craigslist. He told us he's using MB for the money transfer and that the 4 wheeler is stored @ their facility in Miami, FL. We got an email that is supposed to be from MB saying that we had to transfer the money to a MB agent via WesternUnion and once it was received, they would begin the shipping process. I guess my question is for all you MoneyBookers veterans. Does this sound normal?? I was under the impression I would just upload the money to the MB site. I am so worried this is a scam...it's like the old saying goes.."If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." I just don't want to give someone my money for them to run away with it! PLEASE HELP!!!

THANKS!
