Default Yeah, Right!

I have my Ohlins shocks listed on Craig's List. This is what I got today......

Hello

My assistant told me that it's still for sale. I'm fine with paying
your asking price and I can make your payment either by check or money
order because I am currently away on a business trip. I will make the
arrangement for pick-up AFTER you have received the payment. I don't
mind adding a little extra ($30 or so) for any inconvenience this may
cause you. You should receive your payment within 4-6 business days.
The only information I need from you is your full name, cell phone
number, and your address where you'd like me to send your money!
Also,i will appreciate if you can get the ad off craigslist so i can
be sure you are keeping it in my favor .Awaiting your reply. Thank you


Someone's going to give me $30 + for my trouble......I'm just wondering what he/she could do with the information they requested from me.

I sent an e-mail back telling him/her to send me their shipping info and we would go from there but guess what, no response.

It's a scam. I get that same response for almost everything I put on Craigslist. They don't even use correct English.

It's a scam, brother, don't give up any personal info about yourself.
Post your ad here, not as much BS as on craigslist

Wow, just look at the lack of grammar and punctuation. That first "sentence" said it all!

Same here, seems like they're always just going out of the country and their "shipper" will take care of the details, they all learned English from the same place.
