I was selling some stuff on craigslist when and got a very generic email response from a potential buyer that said something along the lines of “I’d like to buy your item. Is the item available? Please respond urgently!!” That sounded a bit strange and spammy, so I responded from a special “Just for spam” email address saying it was available. Here’s what I got back in response:
Thanks for your prompt response,My name is Mike larry located in Utah, i am currently out of the state on a pastoral mission.
I am buying the item for our pastor who is recently getting married to a California woman that is working in West Africa Embassy as a wedding present.
So you will be sending it to them once you receive the confirmation of my payment. I would have love to pick it up by my self, but i am out of the state now on a pastoral mission And i don’t want to disappointed them.
Please send me a paypal request to enable me to make the payment right away. through paypal,or the information that i will use to send you a u.s postal money order,I will like this item to get to them before the wedding. i will add additional extra $180 USD during payment for the shipment cost, Because you will be required to ship it express through u.p.s to them.thanks
Mr Mike larry
Now I’m just eagerly waiting for that wonderful extra $180!!1!1!!
