Ok I know its probably no news flash this subject but this email i just got has taken the biscuit; Subject: Capri custom V8  from "thomas smith" <thomas_smith2008@yahoo.fr Hello, i saw the advert of your items which you have for sale and am highly interested in buying it, so i will like you to email me the pics so that i can see if the boat is in perfect confition, and send me the last price which you are selling the car to me. so be looking forward to your mail if you still have the items for sale and with the last price for it. thanks.. Best Regards... Thanks... Had it listed on a v8 forum. First of all, i went like about 12 months ago,  second it would sink.   ;D |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Just noticed that it came from yahoo.fr. I've had about a dozen virus infected emails from yahoo.fr email addresses this week!

See this is yet another why we need to do something about third world poverty, the sooner places like Nigeria have some kind of economy to call their own, the sooner Nigerian Scammers like this guy can get make their money some other way and give us all peace!  ;D ;D It is worrying that these guys get away with it from time to time though, you'd have to be monumentally dense to go along with that sort of thing. |

haha, i get them all the time, usually string them along....... and just tell them to send the cheque to a bogus adress.... lol. they don't seem to mind 1 line replies so its pretty easy to lead them on.
have you had the one asking if they can send u a cheque for £3000 for and item worth penuts and u can cash it, and send on the stuff along with a cheque for the 'change'.
jst reply saying your item is worth £4000 lol.
