Daniel McGuire,

Message:
Hello,
Good day to you, i saw your advert on net that state that you want to sell your Sir Michaels Rollpan and End Caps

and am interested in buying it so if you still have it for sale just let me have the pic and its present condition, with the following informations: full name that will be on the check your full adress mobile phone and the last price for it
and i will be paying with check, the check will carry an additional money that you will send to my shipping company so that they will come for the pick up after deducting your money from the total amount that will be send to you, so i will be looking to hear from you as soon as possible.

Thanks

Is this something that has just started or has been going on for awhile. Like how all these people are trying to scam people in the classifieds.

Catch him in the act... tell him once you receive the check, you are going to call the bank it is issued from and verify its authenticity. Then tell him if its fake, you are going to forward the email to the FBI for check/bank fraud.

$10 says he doesnt want to buy it anymore

The response back...

Hey Donald...that's great! I've had the rollpan for a while now and it's just been collecting dust, so I'm glad to find someone who can put it to use. The ad you found the item in actually contains my name, address and phone number. The only problem is I am currently stationed at a weather outpost in Botswana. The rollpan is located stateside but I can have my cousin's uncle's niece's nephew's mailman take care of shipping it to you. I also prefer to use Western Union for payment and, fortunately, there is a Western Union office located just down the river from my weather outpost here in Botswana. If you'll wire the money there I will have the rollpan shipped to you. If you're not comfortable wiring the money to me feel free to wire the money to the Western Union office in both your and my names. I'm friends with the young lad behind the counter there and he will gladly hold the wired money until your purchase arrives, at which point I will receive the wired monies. Don't worry about the Western Union fees as Homer, my friend at Western Union, usually waives them for me.

Please respond with the name the Western Union will be sent from, your contact information including address and phone, bank routing information (account number and PIN should suffice) and they will need to know your wife's bra size, which they use for security purposes.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and finishing our business,

Bart

And our friend Donald's reply...

"Hello,
all i can do is to pay with check and do not wrry about the shippment as i have my own shipping comonay, so let me have the full informations, yopur name and address with phone number and the last price looking to hear from you as soon as possible

thanks"

And my reply back...

"Donald,

I understand your quandary but I’ll still need to know your wife’s bra size. I had someone offer me $12,789.43 for the rollpan (these are very rare you know and fabricated out of unobtanium, which is the element between ******* and rectum), so I’d have to do better than that. Let’s call it an even $13,000 and it’s all yours…and I can’t give it to you painted at that price you understand. My address is as follows:

J. Edgar Hoover
935 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20228

The phone number there is (202) 324-3447. Remember, this is my brother’s address as I am currently stationed in Zimbabwe (if you ask nicely he may have some pictures of himself in women’s clothing for you too). Can you let me know what the amount of the check is going to be? I need to know in order to figure out how many Dinars I will have to send you, as that’s what they pay me with here in Uganda where I’m stationed.

All my love to your wife,

Bart"

Let's see what Donald has to say now...

All the ones that have been tried on me try to sound so sophistocated but screw up simple spelling.

And they type like their ye-olde-tyme-british and calling themselves DR. or Prof. so & so and that they have kin stateside...........

Struck in AZ: nice post!!!

Alas...I think our boy Donald has wiggled off the hook but I'll see what I can do to continue our little exchange.

"Donald,

What happened??? I thought we were close to finalizing a deal…you weren’t trying to scam me or anything were you? You sounded like a serious buyer – not like the other jokers that have replied to my advert…

Hugs and kisses to your wife,

Bart"
