I had a similar issue on my wrecked celica, asking price was about $4500, he sent me a check for $9000. Also, with VOIP (voice over IP) like Vonage, you can be almost anywhere and the # on the caller ID will say whatever # they have. And you can live in OH and have a AZ phone # if you want.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The Canadian MP have a web site to report this type of activity. Phonebusters.com, I think that is the web site.

Good luck
