DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A CRAIGSLIST SCAM TO YOU GUYS?!!
« on: November 12, 2007, 05:50:55 AM »
Hi
Thanks for your mail,am really happy to hear that its still available for sales and i wish to make an offer of $500 including the running expenses i will like to proceed with your payment asap and will like to handle the shipment myself when you must have gotten your cash at hand.I would have love to mail a check or to bring cash to your home address but due to the nature of my health i will not be able to do that .I have a personal shipper from new york who will come for the pick up with some other items i bought after the funds has been cleared at your bank.My mode of payment of payment will be via E check drawn on Bank of America.E check is fast as secure.You probably need a business check paper to print and cash or deposit the check today.The business check paper is sold for $25  at any stationery store,staples,office depot or at your local office supply outlet.The cost of the suppliess will be added to your asking price with an extra offer for the stress  and strain so i will need your  your full name and address with a valid email address to send the simple step on how to print the check to your email which you can print and cash within 2 hours after you must have purchased the business check paper.Kindly get the posting deleted if you are ok with my mode of payment.I will await your email asap.
Thanks

Yes 100%.  I got a very similar response from Craiglist.  It is bullshit.  I got one of those E-Checks and checked it out and it was worthless.

Heres a site where some guys have fun with the Nigerian scammers. Some of the things they have those Nigerians do are pretty hilarious.
