You should have seen the one I got when I was selling my Mustang seats. I listed then @ $325 and this guy who said he was in Canada offered me $400 but wasn't able to use U.S. currency. He had a "buddy" who would send me a cashier's check for the money and arrange shipping. I quickly told him where to go.

People are more passionately opposed to wearing fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than bikers.  |

I was lucky! I got a email from Nigeria saying I'd get millions if I help this guy transfer funds.  |

I have already accepted the position and will be receiving the funds in the immediate future. Dr. Okon confirmed receipt of the money I sent him, but it appears the initial sum was insufficient. I will be sending more this afternoon. I can't wait to start spending all that money. |

Wow, just think of all the millions floating around now. I had an email this morning, telling me the woman...a diplomat from the U.K. no less, was at my local airport and needed my home address for personal delivery of $15.1 million, she will be arriving by taxi. The "local" airport was the Indianapolis International Airport, which means she will have one heck of a cab fare.....being's that I live in the Orlando, FL area. I figure it will take her at least a couple days to get here so I'm not looking for her until sometime Saturday morning. Come to think of it, she just might not show up at all since I forgot to give her my address and other personal info prior to deleting. Oh well....easy come, easy go. Sure could use that money, would've paid bills as far as it would go.  |

Because I have almost all my savings invested in the Nigerian enterprise, I could use $15.1 million. |

When I ask ebay sellers if I can pay with a postal money order (or anything else they specify)
instead of paypal, 50% of them treat me like a scammer.
A guy selling saddlebag scuff guards wouldn't let me bid. Recently a guy selling Cobra
"engine fillers", or whatever you call those things that cover the area under the tank
around the petcock and ignition switch, made from billet wouldn't let me bid... I didn't
even know that Cobra made those engine fillers...

My attorney friend STILL has clients coming in to his office telling him of the great offer they've been made.
EVEN when he explains how they will get ripped off he can see in their eyes they want to still believe it.
He honestly believes that some go away and send the scammers money.
You can fool some of the people all of the time when greed rears its ugly head.

Whats funny about my situation is all he gets if I do ship it is a license plate bolt which was posted in the classifieds as a joke for $1000.  |
