Scammers.. gotta love 'em

Well, I'm trying to sell my mountain bike right now, so I can pay for some new suspension hopefully before next weekend. The only reply I've gotten so far to my craigslist post is a perfect example of a scam.


People, read this, and be aware of crap like this... I myself just like screw with these idiots.

Hello,
How are you doing? I will like to let you know that I have gone through your Ad and very satisfied with it, I think the price is fair enough and am willing to buy it as far as I will not be making any repairs on it.I would have loved to come take a look at the item myself but i have to attend my cousine funeral outside the country`right now i am preparing to travel for the funeral .

I have a mover that can come for the pick up ,I will pay by Check Will send money for the item and the moving funds once you cash check or it clears in your bank, you send the moving funds to the mover so that they can come for the pick up immidiately.I will need your full adress and phone number so that I can send you your payment and the mover will call you on when and where to come for the pick up

I will await your prompt response .

Regards.

from me

Well, even though you completely disregarded the last reply from me, i am willing to sell it to you.

Tomorrow i am dropping a small block chevy into the bike. But, since the last engine was stolen off the bike, i am willing to take $50 off the cost (since it is no longer stock). It has dynoed at about 472 hp, i hope that is not to much horsepower for you. Because this bike will probably now run 11 second 1/4's.

Please reply ASAP!

Re: Scammers.. gotta love 'em

What are the scammer trying to achieve here?

They want more personal info for ID theft? Or is this leading to "wire me money so I can get you your money."

Tell them you drop it off. You'll be driving the white van with the green and gold stripe.
