NOFX March 21, 2006 Share NOFX Member March 21, 2006 (edited) I posted my car for sale on craigslist and I get this email from someone. Doesn't it sound a little fishy to you? Hello, how are you today,and how was your day cos mine was cool and slendid, i was going through the classified ads today, when i came across the advert concerning the item you listed for sale, this item is a perfect specification requsted by me and my husband and am presently helping my family to do some shopping into our new home in the area.I will like to know what the present condition is and the last asking price you are willing to sell the listed item is that still as listed on the website.Please do contact via this email address.I will also appreciate if you can attach a picture to your reply only if available.

duma March 21, 2006 Share duma Member March 21, 2006 I know lots of Binghams... I even work with one. That being said, either that person is foreign, or has little education. If foreign, it is a scam, it not, I believe it. Ping the ISP and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playaa March 21, 2006 Share Playaa Member March 21, 2006 I'd say that email itself seems fine...old people who don't know how to user computers DO still use them. email em back but be wary of future possible scams to come from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witt March 21, 2006 Share witt Member March 21, 2006 I've sold a bunch of stuff on Craigslist (I actually found the place where I'm living right now on there). But the most frustrating thing for me was when people would email me with questions, the answers to which were clearly laid out in the product description. It made it very hard to sell things, as I was forced to block their email address immediately (stupidity is contagious). For example: description would read "20 inch Flatscreen Tube TV" Emails I would receive: How large is the TV? Is it flatscreen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it flatscreen? yes I agree if they are smart enough to use a computer and read the ad, but yet dumb enough to not pick up on what they just read, then I do not want to do business with them...
