I put my car up for sale and got a call from a chap from namibia on business who wants to pay the whole amount in cash . There's a few things that made me a bit suspicious about the whole deal .

The bank warned me about this being money laundering
He never saw the car in person yet he wants to pay the amount (quite a hefty sum of money)
He's willing to leave the car with me for 3 weeks before picking it up
He's willing to cover the banking costs

Any car dealerships/sales reps willing to pitch in on what's going on here and what actions I should take next ?The way I see it as long as the money clears and I can clear my finance agreement with the bank there shouldn't be a problem
 
Scam.
Will ask you to meet him somewhere.
Will arrive with some cash in a bag .
Then shows you some diamonds that he has to exchange for the balance of purchase price.
Asks you to take him in your car.
You arrive at the place.
He leaves in your car and you stay tied up with nothing.

That's the Carte Blanche version.
There are many others.
 
Let him deposit the cash into your account. If you see a cheque deposit then obviously he’s a scammer.

Nothing else you can lose ...
