Yeah those bastards are crazy. I was selling an 89 525 on eBay a while back. The car had a busted head and I was selling it for about 500 US. I got a similar email saying that he would pay me 4000 for it. Good thing these guys suck at what they do.

I was selling a Jeep Wrangler last summer and some jamoke (said he was from england) started up with the classic overpayment scam. I strung him along for a while and then broke the bad news to him after he sent me a bogus check for a keepsake.

I'll have to uplaod a picture of my booty some time...:D

Fraud is Nigeria's biggest industry, measured as a percentage of GDP. Really.
