I hate scammers

[sand rocket]

been trying to sell an old trailer on the local news website. I get this email saying that he would like more info. So i send some info and get this shit back

 

Thanks very much for your email, I ll like to have the trailer and also

like you to know that payment we be by my certified Check, Regarding

the shipping, I have a company that takes care of the pick up of my

consignments for me and ship to my destination anywhere in the U.S.A,

you do not worry about shipping, the company will send down a

represent to arrange the sales documentation and the pick up from your

end for onward transfer to my destination. I also want to alert you on

the fact that you will be receiving an overdraft PAYMENT, which will

cover the money for the pickup (pickup and shipping to the final

destination) as well as the money to be paid to the company that will

take care of the pickup and the documentation with you. So please, as

soon as you receive the payment, go and cash them immediately, deduct

the money that accrues to you, and send the balance to the Head Office

of the company that handles the shipment in Canada via the nearest

Western Union agent in your area. Deduct the Western Union charges

from the balance and send the remaining to Canada immediately . The

Check will be in your name to make it easier for you to receive

payment, deduct your money and send the balance via Western Union as

regards my earlier direction, please reconfirm your details one more

time. I will give you the details of the company that you will send

the balance of the money to in Canada once I get a reply and agreement

that you will send the money to Canada via Western Union money

transfer immediately you cash the Check. Once the money is received by

the agent in Canada, the shipping agent will contact you immediately

to arrange the documentation as well as the pick up immediately. So in

view of the above, here are some of the details I will need for final

issuance of the Check to you. (1) Full Name (2) Mailing address, no

p.o.box please (3) your direct telephone number (4) acceptance of my

offer, Once you get back to me with all the above, the Check will be

issued out immediately and it will be sent to you . Hope to hear from

you immediately. Regards,

 

N.b I ll give you $100 for you reserving the for me.

Sand Rocket, did you list that on the KSL website? I have a buddy that got nearly the same email from someone when he was looking to sell his 5th wheel awhile back. The guy mentioned giving him an extra $3000 or some shit to ship it to England etc etc. and wanted to transfer the money directly into his account. Of course he needed account info etc.
