(1/6) > >>

Hovis:
I've got an ad in the classified at the moment and received this email earlier. From a Mr Robinson Smart.

Hello,
   i came across your ads, and am so much intrested in buying it, so i
desided to email you to confirm if it still available if so i will want you
to get with the asking price also i will needed at list 2 pics of it.
   Concerning the payment, i will be paying you with a cheque which i believ
is the best way of payment, in order to procced, i will want you to get back
to me and confirm to me if it still available ok, also concerning the
shippment, i have a shipping agent that will come over to your location for
the pick up ok, so dont worry your self on that ok, so i wait to hear from
you soon, thanks alot and god bless you.
   best
   regards.

Sounds like a scam to me or am i being paranoid? Any one else had anything like this? I've only advertised on one other site so have posted this there too.

defenderdan:
Is it a high value item that you are selling?  ie- worth scamming you for.

drutt:
scam scam scam scam scam scam (oops, I've forgotten the words)

strapping young lad:
scam scam scam!

where did you place this ad and if you are selling it put it on ebay cos u can cut out international selling and people who bid from abroad cannot bid on your item

i had a bid on my phone blocked cos the guy was in germany

woody:
i have had similar for ads in Loot
the thing is my brother was selling a car at the same time and he got the same e-mail  :lol:
