Default Scammer in Classified Section

Just curious how many people were emailed by this person today. [email protected]. Obvious scam:
I am interested in the ad.. Do you still have it available? If so,kindly let me know if the picture in the ad.are recent or can you send me some pictures to view. Do you accept certified check or cashiers check from my bank .
I await your response

Play with them, make them expend time and at least funds on mailings. Can always respond, got the letter but it was shredded, messed up of some sort and bank won't accept it, need to resend

another one.

Hello,

Thanks for your quick response and accept my apology for my late
reply, I have seen your Ad. and already have a complete view of the
pictures, it is most likely that i purchase from you because i am very
much interested in what i have seen. fortunately and co-incidentally
my wife has just been delivered of our second baby boy today.

I will like to know the present location of the Ad. so as to arrange
for the pick up, i will make available all incurred costs associated
with the pick up and delivery. Am so sorry my phone number wont be
available for you to reach me at the moment due to my present location
at work, you can only reach me via mails.

I look forward to hear from you so soon.

Best regards,

John Jakoba
