I put up my fridge for sale, and here is a reply:

Hi,
I did go through your ad on craigslist and i am
interested in purchasing the above mentioned and i am
ok with the asking price. Is it still available for
sale? if it is, Provide your name and address for
payment. I am only able to make payment by money order
at this time b/c i am away on assignment. It will be
nice if you can send me more pictures. It will take
about 7days for payment to get to you. As per pick-up,
I will make arrangement for the pick-up after payment
has been received by you. I dont mind adding thirty
dollars so you can keep it in my favor.Please take the
posting off craigslist today and consider it sold to
me.include ur phone number.
Expecting to hear from you soon.
Regards

BILL COOK.Jr.


His email is a yahoo email, but I'm pretty sure this is a scam, mostly b/c of the "Regards" and the money order and all that stuff. Plus he types weird.

Not many people in Nigeria have fridges. You would be surprised. My cousin was scammed i the same manner. It cost him $1345.45 to mail the fridge to Nigeria and it turned out the money order was fake.

Wait... why does "Regards" mean it's a scam?

Lol. No kidding.

Might as well say "I'm pretty sure it's a scam, mostly because of the "Hi"."

And yes, it's a scam.
