Worst scam offer I have ever seen

[zylander]

I have a set of wheels for sale that I posted on craiglist in the car section. Here is a response I got from some scammer. This is by far the worst I have ever seen, remember that I am selling a set of wheels.

Dear Seller, Like to purchase your advertised car,I will be happy to know the bonafide owner?Also the working conditions,while i will handle the shipment myself,When you must have cash the check.I will want this transaction urgent.I will like to know your phone number and also full contact address,You can proceed to delete the advert once you have send me the above information so that i will issue you the check.Its drawn in US BANK OF AMERICA. .You will cash and deduct your money ,while you send my shippers the excess funds for the pick up the car.

I know all these guys have horrible grammar, but Ive never seen it this bad. Plus, its like he didnt even read my ad, just saw a post in the car section and assumed it was for a car. Im afraid to think that there might actually be someone out there that would fall for this.

I've always wanted to send those scammers a few hundred pounds worth of bricks and a $5000 value on the customs form.

most folks savy enough to know about and use the list wouldn't fall for this one imho.

I guess all the good scammers got conscripted into some local militia and wiped out? It's like all the new trainees are up to bat.

They did the same thing with a high customs value with the p-p-p-p-powerbook reverse scam.
