LOL - about 90% I'm sure it is.

Man, my inbox is getting bombed with these types of emails. I can thank craigslist for that.

The best thing I do is to reply back with a very similar email. Here is one of the templates I use:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I work for an agency that is highly interested in the product you have for sale. I will give you USD $345,000 for the item. I am most comfortable with cheques and Western Union Services. I will also arrange for a private company to ship this product.

Kindly send me your name, address, and bank account number so I can transfer the funds.

Pleasent Day,


That was one of the hundred(s) emails I received.
I was never bothered again.

Like Skullz states have fun with them. Waste their time like they do yours.


Sure. I'll send $5000 overseas for a product I can't see for myself that is "supposedly" locally sponsored. Yeah...................ok.


Tell them you're interested. Keep them going. It CAN be fun lol.

Everyone knows you can't trust a girl named Cinderella. They always seem to run off on you.
