So I'm selling my boat on craigslist and I get this response.

I really appreciate your response to my email.and am very sorry for
the late respond I want you to consider it sold, pls do withdraw the
advert from craigslist to avoid disturbance,anyways I don't have time
to come over to take a look because of my Business schedule but you
don't need to bother your self with the shipment,I'll take care of
that by engaging the services of a mover, hence I'll be sending a
check and it will be delivered to you via United Parcel Service,so
I'll need you to provide me with the following information to
facilitate the mailing of the check....

1.Full name on the check.
2.Full Physical address to post the check
3.City, State and Zip Code
4.Home & Cell Phone to contact you.

Note that the payment will be shipped to your address via USPS NEXT
DAY AIR SERVICE an and I will like you to know that you will not be
responsible for shipping i will have my mover to come over as soon as
you have cashed the check.

My Regards
William

Should I let this play out? Hmmmmm...

Yes, I know not to cash the check. Actually, I would probably turn it over to my bank's fraud guy and let him knock on their door.

What to do, what to do?

hey! I know that guy!!

With written sentences like that, makes you wonder what business he could be in?

The Scamin' bidness!

Exactly.

Spotweld his ballsack to the wall.

Do you think he'd be interested in my 5th wheel? :-)

this guy from Idaho????? sounds almost like the same email i got when i sold my boat on crtaislist...

Already contacted our loss prevention folks here at the bank. I'm contacting him tonight to ask him to send the check right away. We'll see if we can catch him, or his buddy here in the area.

After you get the check call him and tell him you decided it wasn't enough money and to send another check to cover the difference.

nice!

Waiting to hear the outcome on this one.Goodluck,
SZ

Today's email.

The Bank Endorsed check have been mailed to you via USPSex check statue via www.usps.com which include funds to cover the payment and Shipment,This is because the amount I placed with my company is a refund for a canceled order and being a refund it can only be written on a single check .I am in no rush with you as I will await your DEPOSITION and bank clearance before we proceed further, once the check has been Received, You will proceed to Deposit the check at your bank. once the check clears you will deduct your funds while the balance will be sent to the shipping so they will be able to offset shipping & tax charges, on pick up. My bank informed me the check should clear within 1-2 working days.You will deduct your fund and send the difference fund will be sent to the shipping company CEO Immediately so that they will proceed with pick up arrangement, though I have other goods to be picked up alongside,Let me know when you have the check and it have been deposited for bank clearance as its a depository check.
Thanks so much
Contact me as soon as you have the check
God bless you ..

Should be fun.

Now we're talking. Seems we have a Magoo on the line. Keep the line tight and let him beach himself. Fish On!!!!!

When you finally boat the sumbitch, bleed him and gut him, and cold-smoke his ass, post his name and all his personal info you can so THE WORLD knows what a POS he is.

Getting interesting.Keep it comin.Good luck,
SZ
