I'm selling my truck via Craigslist and the e-mail I get after telling them I still have it for sale (with my reply at the top) - note they wanted me to go to some link and fill something out:



OK!!! I'm total idiot....I believe any e-mail that has incorrect grammar like 'Were local' instead of 'We're local'.

Are you in Uganda with a rich uncle who died and can get me millions of dollars if I send you thousands?

Suck it buddy.

Sweet, that sounds good. My husband Kevin is actually going to be paying for it. Our agreement is that he's buying the car, if I take care of the monthly policy premiums. I can definitely afford it, but he wants me to show him a rough idea of the cost before he spends a bunch of money on me.

I'm at the office, and they allow internet usage to internal sites only. Would you do me a favor, and go to Auto Quotes and run a basic quote for me, so I have at least something to tell him? Were local, with zero tickets or accidents. Just tell me what the rate is and we'll come by once I leave work today, if that's alright with you.

Thanks!

I had the same thing happen to me when I was selling a car. My response was "If you can get on Craigslist from work then you can check you own f*#king insurance". The person actually Emailed me back saying I wasn't nice.

So many scammers these days! My aunt almost paid 600 to ship her own table to europe a month ago. Guy promised that he would send 1600 via paypal. I had to convince her it was a scam.... she didn't want to believe me!!!
