They would have so much more credibility if they would use proper grammar and punctuation.

I got one of those. Replied (heck, nothing to lose). Got the "I'm on an oil drilling rig..." story. Told him to send his representative with cash and after the bank confirmed the money was not counterfeit the rep could have the title and keys. Signed off with "probably won't hear from you again". Didn't.

I got my check in the mail today.....lol.

Seriously....I told him to send me a check...he did...lol. I wanted $2200 for the block...he sent me $4200....lol. The name in the check is from a company in AZ. Prescott Spas LLC.

I first called the bank in AZ. they told me due to fraud and whatnot that they wont even verify if an account is open or not. So I looked up the compny on the net. Called out and asked for James White(signature on check) the guy started lauging his head off.

Apperantly he started getting calls a week or so ago about this. he told me this was probably the 10th or so call he had. We chit chatted about it for a bit(hell of a nice guy) he told me they contacted the FBI about it and was basicly told that there was nothing they could unless it was over a certain amount.

The check is fake....the account number was correct(they opened a new account) everything else on the check was correct. I see lots of checks in my buisiness....this one looks real as hell...even has the watermark.

Just thought I would let you know. Im gonna try to have some fun with this guy now.....lol

Maybe we should all just contact him via the email address and reply that the item is indeed still for sale and the lowest price we can offer him is ........ and send him an address to mail the check to and ask for a shipping address to have the item sent to....then just sit and wait. We get enough of them, maybe the FBI might become interested....not sure if he wants something from Indonesia though.....
