I just posted an ad in craiglist selling my used laptop, and I am amazed for the large number of fraudulent responses I am getting. It is almost funny. I am going to play around a little with this scum, starting with... "Dr.Robert Smith.<dr.robertsmith78@yahoo.com>"
DEAR POTENSSIAL SELLER. the fact is that am really willing to get this item for my son that head to west africa. however am getting him this item as a birthday gift and i cant afford to miss this deal all because he will be celebrating is birthday in 2weeks time and i really need to get him this just to surprise him. im so unhealthy for now that is why i have no access of picking this up and pay you by cash...................... am ready to do any thing to keep you cool in this deal, because paying you is not the problem, all i need from you is to be honest in this deal be cause i recently got a PayPal account to make this possible and am new to PayPal. all i need from you now is to get back to me with a PayPal money request or you verified PayPal email address to get your payment done or you can aswell provide me with your full name and full contact address so i can send you a money order straight to your door step.. and as soon as you have received your payment and confirm it, then you can proceed with the deal, by shipping the item to my son. am ready to offer you -$300USD for the item and the shipping to my son. GOD BLESS
Dr. Robert Smith dr.robertsmith78@yahoo.com

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dear Dr. Smith, I did not get the confirmation from PayPal. Please understand that I cant ship the lappy to your son through USPS REGISTERD MAIL OR EXPRESS MAIL because I didnt hear from PAYPAL. Are you sure you sent them my correct email? Please ask PAYPAL to send a copy to this address, because I forgat the password of the previous one. I believe it was pi3.1416, but I cant remember the following digit. Thank you, Doctor. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yeah, just like all us poor Nigerian government officials who need a place overseas to temporarily keep our excess money. Psssst...if you give me your name, bank account number and SSN, I'll make it worth your while.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dear Doctor Smith, I hope you are getting better and your problems are gone. You mentioned in your first message that you were facing serious health problems, please tell me what is wrong with your health? I have a friend who is good healing all kind of problems. She just finished her first semester in medical school and is looking for a some research grant. You may be her thesis subject! It will be a win-win situation! OK, going back to business, I never got the cofirmation from PAYPAL. Please, please, please please Doctor ask them to send me a copy to this email address. Please dont give up!! I really hate when Paypal tries to take advantage of the middle man. But dont worry, together we can beat them! Just ask them politely to send a copy to this email. I already put my immaculate laptop in a nice box, and it is ready to be shipped to your son using the method you asked. By the way, a friend of mine who is a writer in Fatwallet wrote a nice poem about a father who wants to surprise his son with a laptop. It really touched me. With my best regards, and looking forward to closing our bussiness, your friend from America, the Land of the Riches.
