Here's one I have been talking to at work. I have listed all my correspondence with him. Start at the bottom and work your way up. This guy has been hitting all of our offices nationwide. They do want the boxes but the credit card is either stolen or they contest the charges later on but by then it's too late....

We prefer cash!!

geez, I thought the first one was suspicious, but then look at the second one. fred smith? I mean, pft come on, I know there are a few fred smiths runnin around but I didn't fall off the pumpkin cart and back into the fruit patch just yet !

Hey,
I am in a military base now. We are training, getting ready for Iraq. I am only allowed to check my email twice a day. I hope you can understand we will have to stick to email for now. We will ship it with DAS. We will take care of the shipping charges, like I said in my first email. I think I can have it there in 5-7 working days. I am a member of the eBay buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 3 days testing period after delivery. During that 3 days testing period I will not be getting any money. I need to know if you are interested in buying it so I can ask eBay to send you the details on how this works. If interested please include in your next email your contact info for eBay (name, address and #) so we can get things started.

Hello,
The quad (2007 Honda Rincon 680 EFI 4x4) is in absolutely perfect condition, no scratches,dings, dents or other imperfections. Never accidented, Always garaged. Clear title, no leans. I will accept $3,600 if you buy it now. It has only 384 miles, 680 cc, and also 6 months of Honda waranty...transferable.
Firstly, I need to tell you that i am located in Anchorage, Alaska. I sell the quad urgently because my platoon has been sent back to Iraq and don't want it to get old in my garage. The price is low because I need to sell it before oct 30th...I will take care of all transport arrangements.Usually shipment takes maximum 3 to 5 days depending on your location and will be fully insured against damages, shipped in a crated container.....on my cost!!
I am a member of the eBay buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 5 days testing period after delivery. During that 5 days testing period I will not be getting any money.
If you agree with my above terms, I'm sure that we can close the deal as soon as possible.
I have reserved the quad for you until I will have your final answer.
Reply soon,
Fred Smith

PT Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute."

I guess greed kept her from hearing the warnings around her.

Don't buy electronics from some schmoe on the street. Look up white van scams.
They pulled one off on me a couple years ago. Almost 300 bucks for what I thought to be high end audio equipment. It was worth maybe 30 bucks at best.....I'm talking the fancy box, not what was inside.
Those guys were good....had me sold hook line and sinker.
