Standard Nigerian Scheme.

Every time that I've put anything on Craiges List I've gotten 5 or 6 of these same types of emails. It's a common scam.

This scam seems to work more in university communities where there are a lot of people with book sense but no common sense.

How sad that your friend was that dumb? lol

One of my friends received a phone call that she won a free vacation but the person told her that they needed her credit card number. I had to tell her NOT to give it to them...How sad...

I work in smaller town, and people fall for it at least every few months or so.

I'm constantly AMAZED that anyone would be stupid enough to think that's a real email. Really...people have to be TOLD that it's a scam????????

anytime you get an email that talks like Borat, you can be sure its a scam.

"Huh? I want to buy it, will you sell it to me - actually sell it for me, send me the money and I'll send you the money and you take your money and send the rest......(gasp gasp).

Just say no."

Uhhhh, that's not at all how the scam works.

That scam is OLD. People still fall for it regularly, then we snicker when they want to file a report.
