haha.. i just got one of those this morning. wut a lame scam

 

yep!!!!!!!! got a couple like that from differant email adresses, what a bunch of f******g boneheads,dont fall victim

 

ya i got one from this guy, replied to him, he wanted all my personal information, thank god i didn't give it to him, he added me to yahoo messenger and asked me why i didn't reply, i told him that i heard that he sent it to alot of other people and i thought it was a scam and he said i'm from scotland, but if you want a scam i can show you a scam, I was like what a freak and blocked him

 

For the last reply, when this scam bag told you he was from Scottland, you should have told him to lift his kilt so you could hang him by his @%&*$

 

I have gotten an email from that email address on my 85' Stang. Also got another scammer that seen my ad off of this site. Fortunatly for us they are pretty easy to recognize. RacingJunk.com and craigslist are both eat up with these type scammers. Just try to be careful and use your gut. If it makes you uncomfortable DO NOT PROCEED. Much better safe than sorry! I have contacted the FBI in regards to these matters and US law is powerless against these people. No overseas jurisdiction!!!!!

I also have a generic response email that I send to these people. If anyone is interested in it I will send it to you. Fairly vulger but I find it humerous and it definantly gets the point across.
