Check the email adress, I post my stuff for sale on a local site, www.discovermoosejaw.com and i get email like that, present condition, lowest price ect. and when I look a the email adress it is from a UK yahoo adress, then if I reply to that email they send me another email saying I will send you a check for $1500, please return the rest of the money and at the end it says Thank you and God Bless, Mary Smith , so it is definetly a scam.

I got 30-40 of those when selling my car. Send him pics of something unrelated, you can have a lot of fun with those people. Just keep the deal going!

My scammer even went as fas as to send me a check, I just kept going along with it.

Lots of laughs!!!!
