Re: Axis Mod 7 wheels 20"
Hello

I am interested in buying the wheels that you have placed for sell now, and I would want to enquire about the present condition of the above mentioned, as well as some detail about you. I expect this timely enough.

As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price as I will be paying with a certified cheque or money order.

Lastly, please forward to me your full company's (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through these facilities.

Yours interestingly,

Raymond Griffiths


Should you need to reply to me, Please get back in touch with your
details to me at:tex200894@yahoo.com for a quick reply.

Hmmm, I thought from the thread title that you'd got an offer on your Injen exhaust.

Is there a bot capable of automating this type of thing? Script kiddies? I dunno, I usualy get these offers when selling a car on Auto Trader but this is too funny.

Here is another email
Dear asen,I want to let you know ,that Betty wont be able to pick up the money,she had an automobile accident when going to pick some packages at the groceries store. a car overturned at the intersection of Dillard Road and the accident occurred when the speeding car overturned several times at the intersection when he was broadsided by a semi, her car then hit a mini van.
Betty is now in the hospital bed,she just had a slight injury.we pray for her speedy recovery. asen,we kindly urge you to get it sent to the below information as soon as possible and state precise time you will be available for pick up"


They wanted me to send the money to this person, but as you can see the guy has better skills for Hollywood, then to rob people.

To the OP, several people on here have gotten that same exact email just with a different title for what they were selling. Other forums have also recently gotten the same exact email as well.
