I got this email from an ad for wheels on craigslist.

Hello Sir, I am Mr. henry, i found Your (moto) for sale,i have being
looking for this to buy, and i want to know if you still have it for sale,
for more details about i have a little question to ask below about it???
1.Why are you selling it?
2.Did you discover any repairs on it?
3.For how long have you used it?
4.Your offer price?
Your Full Name....
Contact Address....
State...zip code...
Country... Tell No.......


It's almost like these morons use the same document and just paste in different names etc...

any email that starts out "Hello Sir, I am Mr...." is a scammer.

"i found Your (moto) for sale" I was selling wheels. I think he forgot to replace moto with wheels. or he was too stupid to know the difference.

"i have being looking for this to buy" poor grammar... usually a scammer
"for more details about i have a little question to ask below about it?"

The ad was a set of 19" Carlsson rims/tires for $1900. I'm going to make up random shit and see how retarded he really is :hehe:

got a reply:
Thanks for your response. As for the offer,am based in London UK, so i will not able to come to your location to inspect the moto in person but i beleive my shipping agent will do that on my behalf. As for the
payment,you are to expect a cheque of 8.900 Usd which the shipping cost
has been included on the payment so as to make thing go faster as
possible. All you just have to do is to deduct the money for the car when
the check has cleared in your bank and help me send the remaining balance which will cover for the shippment and some other consignment which i bought in the USA to my reputable shipper who will be coming down for the pickup when all transaction has been concluded via Western Union MoneyTransfer.
So i need the below details for the payment.
1, full name
2,contact address in full(including the postal code
and country)
3,telephone number
Looking forward to read from you.
Henry
Thanks


I replied:
Mr Henry sir,
It must to be nice in the UK, is there may fancy motos there? Will the shipping company pick the motos up by truck, cargo jet or boat? So I will receive the money order for $8900 and take $6100 from that for the cost of the motos? I think I understand now.
Who will I be sending the balance of the payment to? Name, address?
As mentioned in my last email (when the price of the motos was lower) my shipping information to send the money order to is:
Brian Sullivan
380 S. Main St
Akron, OH 44311

country is USA duh lol

I am in prison at the moment for battery of a circus midget, I only get 1 phone car per day. so sorry but I do not have a contact phone number. I only have email with high speed internet n my cell.
I must sell these motos as soon as possible, need money soon for bail.
thanks,
Brian


I might have over done it, we'll see if he writes back :twisted:
