 Is a scam?
Please kindly reply to email------------ if your posted item still available for sale with the last selling price. He gave me an odd looking email address and at first I was going to respond but thought it  might be a scam. I just can't figure out what he is trying to scam me for.

Be aware:  trojan viruses have been found in emails lately. These viruses are extremely difficult to resolve/ remove.
Android devices, and pc devices are vulnerable. How do I know?   Cry 
Ask my IT tech. Once you open one of these emails, it embeds itself into the lines of code in the operating system and you start getting forced downloads of random apps.  The come in unceasing multiples. As soon as your device sees an internet connection, it goes to work. Porn sites, browsers, games, all aimed at getting you to see their ads etc. Complete device shutdown and factory resets have no effect except to rob you fo your apps AND information. Russian roulette. Open if you can afford the hassle..... Undecided



Ride safe.

ANYTHING posted, emailed, communicated using that phrasing IS A SCAM. Simple as that.

Run away.

That happened to me trying to buy a puppy of all things, when I figured out it was a scam they wouldn't leave me alone, I took a picture of a police patch and said this conversation is being monitored and then they stopped, scammers are out there.

Can I just get the porn sites?  Is there an option box to check?
