Get his phone number and telephone him, make sure it is a proper land line and not a mobile phone or VOIP number. Get a proper address for him.
I would be very wary too.

If any offer to buy your boat is a scam, the way it normally works is that you will be paid (up front) for the boat and hand it over. Sometime later, you will be informed that the cheque or other payment into your bank (that cleared) was drawn from a fraudulent account � and the bank will take the money back.

This is a common scam, perpetrated on those selling prestige cars � quite how the banks can justify claiming money back, once a payment has cleared, is beyond me.

As far as the banks are concerned, �it�s heads we win, tails you loose.�

If he's approached you, unsolicited, then it's 105% certain it's a scam.

If you've had any previous dealings with him it may not be.

It might just be a coincidence but 'Kenneth Associates' sounds remarkably similar to 'Kenneth Tyler (and) Associates', which has been asked about several times before.

If the address is '168-173 High Holborn', don't touch them with a bargepole. See my post here:

Hello,

I also got a e mail received from Kenneth asscociates london. I do not trust the thing. 1 - it is strange that a large amount money is deposit in your account and that you then have to deposit it to his agency. 2 Is it not strange that someone with a large company that has boats for sale across the world works with a yahoo email address. This guy is na scam.

Hello!,
i have resived also a mail from kenneth to buy my boat, i dont trust it.

hallo, Kenneth heeft mij ook toegezegd een boot te kopen, eerst vroeg hij om meer foto's en daarna of hij er nog is en wat de laagste prijs is. Ik heb eerder een boot naar Tsjechie verkocht maar heb ze uitgenodigd om te bezichtigen en daarna CASH af te rekenen, dat is toen prima gegaan, contractje gemaakt en gezorgd dat ik met een stift de biljetten kon controleren. Als Kenneth de boot wil hebben mag hij komen voor een bezichtging en cash afrekenen, ik hoor niets meer van hem...
