    Recently, I posted for sale a car on a tuner enthusiast site. I figured that these kids would love the car because it's one owner and completely stock, a blank canvas for some tasteless mods. I included my Gmail address in the posting for good measure.

    This is one of the responses I received:

    I'm in the mood for fncking with someone. Ideas?

    So I gave him the 24/7 number for the RCMP and here's what he had to say:

    So I told him that we should discuss the condition of the car over the phone and asked him how much he willing to pay.

    Yeah. expect lots of those.

    Last two high end cars I sold, I got about 3-4 scams a week. People that said my asking price was fair and they would cut me a check for an extra $5000 and I would have to refund the difference in cash...blah blah blah blah

    and the same one you got.. Just delete them.

    Sometimes, theyll send you a legit inquiry. You mail back, and then youll get that scam stuff back.

    If these people could harness their energy for something positive the world would be a better place.
