Got this e-mail as a responce to my Formula ad in the classifieds. Now they are actually going out and looking for people instead of just posting someone else's boat at a giveaway price.

NICE !!!

Is that English?!?!?

Problem is they now have a nice set of pics and description of the boat, so I'm sure it will show up for sale at a rediculous price somewhere ... and the scam will go on.

I did send a copy of their email to the FBI, doubt it will do much though.

Better check Beav Boats!

Ah How technology has improved the scam artist world. If I can't see it and touch it, I'm not buying it .

what the hell were they talking about

No, it's puder.

No flippin' way. Sounds like he's related to the guy that burnt me for $3k....

There must be a lot of suckers out there to fall for that.
