Is this a scam?

Sounds like one to me....

Scam and tell them to go pound sand.:yes:

Tell them to come right over and bring cash, you'll never see them.:thumbsup:

Jimmy The good Lord only gives you so many days on this Earth and so much air to breathe while you are here. Any amount of either spent responding is pure waste.

99.9% I would say it is a scam

Ask for a name, telephone number and an address and see what happens.

Yep, Scam for sure! Bad English & wanting to pay full price=SCAM!

Thats too funny what an idiot. Play it up.

What gets me, is some folks might fall for it, IF it were written better with ankling of intelligence.

Its always this exact wording in those scams...

sounds like a scam to me , send me the check and ill check it out for you

Real people just don't talk that way. If an email doesn't sound like something you'd hear in every day language, it's a foreigner that's been coached in "canned" emails.

Hello,I really appreciate your response to my previous mail. I'll like tobuy this item, pls do me a favor of taking down the ad from CL so asto be rest assured that I'm in hold of the item, anyways I don't havetime to come have a look cause of my Job transfer and shortness oftime but you don't need to bother yourself with the shipment, I'lltake care of that by engaging the services of a mover, hence I'll besending a check and it will be delivered via United Parcel Service, soi'll need you to provide me with the following information tofacilitate the mailing of the check. 1.Your full name2.Your mailing address be it residential or postal address3.Your cellphone number.4.Final Price I'll have my mover come over for the pick up as soon as you havecashed the check.N.B UPS does not deliver to a P.O box addresses.. Have a wonderful day ahead.

this is scam, i will never list anything on the craiglist, when they use a outstanding name like tomas jefferson thomas young , their scam i wish these people would all upchuck and die

Even if its not a scam. Its not worth dealing with someone with typing and spelling like that. I have seen young kids do much better then that.

Scam!i Had A Similar Thing Happen To Me.had Some Intrior For Sale In The Free Classifieds Here At Team Chevelle.guy Said His Name Was Reverend Cody Nelson.sent Me The Postal Money Orders Totalling $2550,i Only Wanted $400.i Burnt Them.
