I know a guy who sent 4K to that Nigerian prince email thingy thinking he was gonna get 400K back. He is desperate and thought he hit the lotto. I think people do crazy things when backed into a corner.

from what I hear, scams are supposed to be doing good business unfortunately.

I think you should see how many bad checks you can collect.

got this type of response when i was selling one of my commercial boats. I knew it was bogus as soon as i read the letter, but broker thought it was good. i told the broker ok do what you want, but you wont get the boat until i get paid full in cash...sent a check that was phony. broker looked confused. told broker to file a police report as he was getting calls at all hours. turned out the scam was in philadelphia pa and the guy was from england and in pa trying to scam sales people that had local ads
be careful some arent as savy

A few things...you should feel lucky to have such a serious buyer so quickly (kidding of course).

I hate...and that's a strong word...but it's true, I hate people who try to take advantage of people like this. Please post his e-mail to me and I will make him wish he's never contacted you...at a very miminum he won't be able to use that account again. I have methods of upsetting people when I run across this type of low caliber person.

I ran an ad to sell 4 new Hummer H2 wheels & tires, and got a scammer reply on those just last week,, I never replied ,reading his response to my ad was enough .

Boy this gets even better, i got another one so i sent back that the bottom price was $8500 which is more than the ad was for, this is what i got back.
