I bet the next response is "oops, I messed up and wrote the check for twice the amount of the skimmer. Please deposit the check and send me the overpayment ASAP"

Heres one I got today. A slightly different approach I think. By the way, the 234 prefix magically come from NIGERIA. lol

Notice: you are one of the lucky winner of a VISA CARD ON-LINE LOTTERY PROMO.Your VISA CARD valid the sum of $1,000,000.00 but due to the excessive scam on net beneficiary no longer pay for their delivery.The believed is that if they paid the parcel will not be deliveredCongratulation the lottery company has just pay for the delivery including the Anti Terrorist fee of your parcel but the government requires that you,pay for a non residential and tax fee of $300 which is compulsory any where in the world.And is to be pay for by you the beneficiary and that is the rule.So you are to contact the dispatch office of SKY NET COURIER DELIVERYSERVICE Mr.Mohamed dajuma with your details&phone number via email mohameddjuma.deliverydpt@yahoo.co.uk for immediate delivery.

We posted the extra room in our house for rent on craglist, wow, worst idea ever...

The email box looked like a meeting from the UN will all the different people from different countries supposedly wanting to move in. About 97% were identical emails about how they'd pay the first month rent via certified check, their movers would, etc...

Yeah, but we can't say (mike I'm sorry I really am) So I assumed said site fell under the same rules.

Mike
No it wasn't on this site. And am I correct in assuming that said site falls under the cometitors sites?

atleat it wasnt on here and yes you are correct in thinking that is considered a competer only because of the store sites that are on it.
Their is a fraud division of the FBI that falls under internet crimes you may want to forward that intire message to them.

I am glad you are interested in the item and satisfied with the price, but I have so many ads placed, that I would like you to clarify to which item you are referring.

they respond back in the same generic type email of the funds will be transfered on such and such day please set up a pick up date and so on and so on but just another generic response on the what the item is. I think its not to incrimenat the party if it comes down to it they can say no it was a _______ item not what you are claiming it is. not sure but that was my experience with it and the response that I had gotten.
BTW mine was on a washer and dryer.
