I don't understand the problem, every legit sale needs: Your social security number, mothers maiden name, any secret passwords/account #'s you have to your bank accounts and most of all, at least 10 signed blank checks..........

This guy sounds like a scammer, trying HARD to be smooth. obviously doesn't really know english, even current broken English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 This screams 100% scam. I know because I get TONS of spam emails through the DDR email account and I have learned how these retards type. I can pick them out very easily now. There are many keywords in that email that is scam material. I am really interested in purchasing it and this is my first time of buying Goods Via the internet,Before i proceed i will like to know if you are the First owner,The present condition,The final asking price i will also like to know if the price is negotiateable.Lastly,As a business man i want you to be aware that my mode of payment will be US Bank check if this means is accepted i will require some details from you so that the check can be mail out to you Via UPS courier service.Below are the details required from you. That is a universal scam email sent out to many other sellers besides you. They wait for replies and work you from there. sand~snake replied back to one of these douche bags with a "fk you" attitude LOL and he got a pretty funny response from some scammer guy from some other country. He claimed he made $40K + a month off of us "stupid Americans". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAND~~SNAKE Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I still have the email..I was going to post it but dont know if the filters will CLEAN it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 unfortunately there are a lot of DUMB americans and these scammers wouldn't do it if it wasn't worth it. you would think people would learn with all the coverage this stuff gets. These scammers are all over Craigslist, I always laugh with the "No scammers" in listings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 General response emails are typically scams. A lot of these scammers are just looking for valid email addresses. By responding you're letting them know it's a good address. You're better off not replying......unless you enjoy junk mail.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
