    A colleague over on the turbodiesel register recieved this email response to his truck-for-sale ad:

    "Hello,
    I'm mark.I will like to purchase your (item] and I'll
    like to know your last offering price if it will be
    okay with me.I'll be making my payment with a check
    that is drawn from a (us) Bank.If you do I want you
    to get in touch with me immediately for me to proceed
    with the Payment. As for the shipping I'll contact a
    shipper agent of mine who will arranged for the Pick
    up as soon as the transaction is sealed and i will
    like you to get back to me.while i will like you to
    send the pics to me through my email ads.I'll be
    looking forward to your response.Thanks
    and Have a Nice
    day.Regards,"

    Sound familiar? Would someone be so kind as to point me to a couple of the classic scam-the-scammers threads? I'd like to educate him on the finer points of proper response to these things by giving him an illustration of how the pros do it. As I recall, Uro comes first to mind.

    As always, thanks in advance for any and all assistance and Cheers.
