DaddyBuiltRacing Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I posted the sunroof I have from the 94 parts car on craigslist and got a message from the guy: Hello i'm Kelvin I want to know if this your item is still available for sale?????????? I replied back and told him that I do still have it and gave him the asking price for it. He then sends me this: Hello... I really appreciate your response to my mail.I want you to consider the item sold, pls do withdraw the advert from craigslist to avoid disturbance.I will also want you to know that i will be paying via bank certified check, i would have loved to come and view and pay you in cash for the item but my wife just gave birth to a baby Boy so i will be very busy all through this week taking care of the mother and the baby. So i will need you to provide me with the following information to mail the check to you asap. (1).Full name to write on the check (2).Full Physical address to post the check (3).Home & Cell Phone to contact you ....I will like you to know that you will not be responsible for shipping i will have my mover come over as soon as you have cashed the check Regards.. Sounds pretty scandalous to me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptn janks Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 http://www.windsorstar.com/Leamington+loses+Nigerian+scam/1173799/story.html from that: They met Rempel the next day with a suitcase. They said it had $10.6 million in shrink-wrapped U.S. bills. Rempel wanted more proof. His new friends pulled out one bill and “cleansed” it with a liquid “formula,” which washed off some kind of stamp. Rempel was told that process made the money “legal tender.” “I was like holy crap, is that mine?” he said. “They said ‘yes sir, it’s yours.’ It all sounded legit.” yeah sounds real legit... idiot.

2highpsi Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 OH NO!! If he does not purchase your item I will. I live in another country and have a client who would love your item. He will make the certified check out to you. It will be for an extra $100 for my fee. Please send the $100 with the item. If you do not trust that option (I know the internet is a dangerous place)I have one other way. Just email me your name, address, SSN, mothers maiden name, and your bank routing and account number. That way I can just wire the money directly into your account! Let me know what works best for you.
