Scammer offers to purchase your stuff..

Hey everyone!

We want to give you a heads up we recently saw the activities of a scammer offering to buy parts on CSS via Private Message. These types of canned inquiries are generally easy to spot. This one was banned immediately when reported. Please report any suspicious offer to buy and the staff will review quickly. Thanks.

Bob..

I am interested in buying the item you have placed for sale, and I would want to know about the present condition, as well as some detail about you. I expect this asap.

As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price then I get a check sent.

Would you please reply back to me at: drawsplus2012@hotmail.com

I will be looking forward to hear from you soon.

Yours interestingly,
Carl

Do they seriously have that much free time AND think people will fall for it? I get emails like this when I sell stuff on craigs list and I love messing with them just to see their replies.

Does ANYONE on here actually speak that properly? I usually get, "Hey man, you still got X for sale? Lemme know!" No one wants to write 2 paragraphs just to let someone know they're interested...

Re: stock headlights and black painted headlights

I am interested in buying the headlights you have placed for sale, and I would want to know about the present condition, as well as some detail about you. I expect this asap.

As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price then I get a check sent.

Would you please reply back to me at: drawsplus2012@hotmail.com
