Yeah I never got it; how effective can you be at this if your attempt is riddled with spelling errors, bad grammar, and run on sentences?
 
Gotta love craigslist. I had my Monster on Facebook's marketplace and then I found it on Craigslist. Someone had taken the picture and the description and placed it on there. The only difference is they halved the price.

At one point someone had emailed me wondering which the scam was (hmm...the cheaper one duh!).

After I sold my Monster I responded to the other ad to see if I could dig anything up. They are usually out of Africa, specifically Nigeria. So , it was a lost cause.

The dead give away, like in yours, is the poor English.
 
I'm always leery of this kind of thing after I helped that wealthy Nigerian guy move his money overseas and never got my cut. :(
 
China is quickly making their way up the list. Entire neighborhoods with a million thieves in their basement working the U.S. Why? Because there are several million victims in this country. Americans are greedy and you would be shocked how many people get scammed like this because all they can see is the $$$$. It's ridiculous.

The problem is worldwide and it's not just a problem here in the U.S. but Asia is getting pretty good with hacking which makes it much more difficult to deal with. Pretty soon it will be downright dangerous to operate on the web if things don't change.

I'm sure you can make it back by running the microsoft email test that will give you $1 for each email you forward to, and each email they forward to and so on. Now I have to go, I'm meeting a girl who wanted to have ... with me because she liked me right from my craigslist posting. She sent a picture and she was hot.

You guys should look up the British TV series called the Fonejacker. The Nigerian scammer scenes are frikkin hilarious!
 
I got at least 10 of these when I had our Panigale on Craigslist , sad part is many people fall for it..........
