Good to have your reply. I am Anthony and would have loved to come and
inspect this at your place myself, but I am not around.I am buying this for
my house and also for business purposes and please just make sure it is in
condition as described. I will appreciate more pictures if available and
will be sending your money asap. My shipper will be available to pick this
up as soon as payment is made. Do you have paypal account? because, I have a
paypal account that I can easily send money through because, its good for
business payments. Get back to me with your paypal email address and name in
order for me to have your money sent on time. Confirm sale to me and remove

The above is the actual scammer email received. It has been scrubbed of recipient information.
If you received an email like this you have several choices.

Ignore the scammer. Do not respond to emails. Just delete them.
Respond, but only to lead the scammer on--to get a counterfeit check, to report stolen credit card numbers, and to waste the scammer's time. Time spent trying to scam you is time not spent scamming someone else.
Report the scammer to us and we'll post their emails so others will know about that scammer.

Whichever option you choose make sure you do the following:

DO NOT educate the scammer in any way. Educating a scammer makes them better at scamming the next person.
DO NOT let the scammer know that YOU KNOW they are a scammer. The scammer will always be nice to you if they think there's a chance they may still be able to scam you. If they know they've been discovered they will often threaten you. Their threats are empty, but are scary to some people.
DO NOT give the scammer any personal information that they cannot find in a phone book (name, address, and phone.) Feel free to give them lots of incorrect information.

For more information you may contact us by email, or by email form.
