Default What kind of SCAM is this?

Didn't know where to put this

On my way home from work today I was stopped in traffic and 4 guys in an F350 crew cab pulled up and motioned for me to roll my window down. I did and the driver said "Hey, I've been looking for a car like that, you want to sell it?" I said no, it runs well and I need it. He said, I'm driving this truck, its my brothers and I need a car, I'll give you $3,000 for it" I laughed and told them there is another like it back up the road for sale. He said, "Na, it's not like yours"

PLEEEASE, I drive in a 1993 Honda Accord with 264,000 miles on it. When he saw it, it was (is) dirty and it is completely stock with pretty tired paint. I live in Charlotte, NC and this truck had a GEORGIA plate on it. What type of scam are they trying to pull? I told them I have 264K on my car and that seemed to dissuade them from their offer which I had no intention of taking anyway. I am sure this was some kind of scam so I reported it to the police and gave them the plate number.

Its usually one of the scams where they then give you a fake check for the money they drive away with your car and you go cash the check to find out its not worth anything.
