Hello ,
Thanks for the mail,And I am very much interested in buying the SD RearLeafSprings F-tech 2'+5' block at that price $225,I want you to remove the ad from the website and give me your contact details so we can proceed with payment. Regarding payment, I have suggested that my cousin residing in the state should send you a check of $4800 which will carter for the cost price and for shipping. Its going to be a cashier's check/money order so should be cashed immedaitely you present it at any check cashing stablishment.I have an International shipping agent that will pick-up and ship the SD RearLeafSprings F-tech 2'+5' block over to me here in U.K and its expensive though. So, on getting the check, you are to cash it and deduct the cost price then do me a favour of sending the remaining funds meant for shipping to my International shipper via Western union.Immediately he gets the money, he will come for the pick-up. Confirm this and send yo ur Full Name, Physical Contact Address and Phone Number which will be used in mailing the check payment to you via courier service. I'll be waiting for your favourable reply.
Regards,

So that I can ship them the soonest possible. You can pay through paypal, they can take credit cards or checks. Or you can mail me a certified money order. This would be best, because a personal check would take time to clear and that would delay you getting the leaf springs and blocks, which I am sure you want to get right on so you can start riding tall.
Cheers,
Bruno

I had a very similar e-mail correspondence with a scammer on here. It was fun. :D


Well sending the finally email was definately fun. But I wonder how many people are actually falling for this. I mean if they keep doing it then people must be falling for it.

Maximize the inconvenience to these scammers. Pretend you're falling for it, and ask them to send you the check. Then just trash it and do nothing. Leave them wondering for weeks what is going on with the transaction...


I like that idea. I think I may try it next time. and maybe just as well next time I get one of the emails trying to get my information claiming my ebay account risks suspension. It might be fun to put all fake information there as well. My only fear on that would be if there was some sort of virus attached to the mail.
thanks,

For once I agree with John :P

There is a great new sport emerging called Scam Baiting, this is where you leed these scumbags along and waste their time and resources...

A good point to begin is here http://419.bittenus.com/

So what happens if you cash the check?

The bank comes after you for the money in a few days when they discover it's fake. B|
