Default OH Sure!!!!!

I recieved this email today. Do you have some money to throw away?

I don't want to sell this amazing car. However, with my husband moving out, I have to sell it,to go with him...We are moving out of state.The final price will be $38000,shipping not included.

I will require a $900 refundable deposit before starting this deal.The balance of funds must be paid within 7 days after receiving the car.I accept wire transfer for the refundable deposit.
If you want to buy my car email me today and I will provide you all payment and shipping details.

This car has never been smoked in (I don't smoke nor my husband) so no second-hand stinky interior here. The car has never had food or drink in it.
This car has never even seen 1 drop of rain(wet only when washed) It has always been garaged.
The interior has never been treated with anything except a wet microfiber towel. No artificial or shiny products used and no fragrances. Ever. This car still has the new car smell.

Well, I figured 900.00 wasn't that much to take a chance with. So, I bit and knowing better, thought I just threw my money away.

They sent pictures and I couldn't believe it. It's true. I committed today and I picked up my new Bad Boy late this evening.

It is everything all the Z guys are saying and now I have one.

Ok. Whoo! What a rush. That was fun and I now know what all the guys that bought their new Z legit, must feel like.

One day this will really be my response.

If you are "replying" to their email, and maybe you know this, you don't get them. They have "nonresponsive" (or something like that) addresses. They don't feel the pain of a response. Many legit on-line retailers use similar systems for ads.

There was an article in our local paper that talked about people who do f*ck with them by actually getting close to the agreement (without actual risk), gaining the real email addresses, and then bombarding them with questions regarding the transaction. They figure they delay these crooks so long, fewer people are scammed.

Anyway, got to go... I own an oil well in Africa...

I was playing with this person a few weeks ago. He/she used the name Kelly Snow. Pics of a car that's supposedly in Florida. But now it's in the UK and needs to be shipped. When I asked for VIN, pics of title, owner's manual, etc, s/he stopped replying. Too bad as it was kinda fun.

Why don't you send them a check for 50K and ask them if they would please send the difference back to you.

Maybe that's why you are "getting tons" of them. They now know that your email address is live.

Publisher's Clearing House just said I could afford that Z06. I need to contact them right away. Has the car moved to Zimbabwa?
