I've decided to mess w/ a scammer.

[Ponch ®]

I put an ad on craigslist because I'm trying to sell a 360 engine (still for sale BTW...$350 obo). 

Within an hour of posting the ad, I got this e-mail:

Date:    Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:11:24 -0800 (PST)
From:   "Rebecca Hopkins" <hopkinsrebecca5g@rocketmail.com>   
Subject:   Chrysler MOPAR 360 Small Block Engine - $400 (Chatsworth, CA)
To:   sale-925774524@craigslist.org


is this item still available?

I replied that it was. This is what she/he/it replied this morning:

Thanks for the response.I am willing to pay your asking price.I will pay by money order as its the only way i can pay you at the moment.I will make arrangement for the pick-up after payment have been received by you. I dont mind adding an extra twenty dollars so you can keep it in my favor.Reply with your full name,cell phone number,and address where payment should be sent.Please take the posting off craigslist today and consider it sold to me.
Expecting to hear from you soon.

And here's my reply to that:

Just so you know, I've replaced the stock heads in the motor with a set of NOS 440 Hemi exhaust manifolds. If that's ok with you and you'd like to proceed with the transaction, please advise.

If they bite, then the scam is confirmed and I will string them along, and I'll post updates here. If they don't...then this is a really lame thread.

I got tired of messing with them. Some idiot wanted me to ship a trans to Bangladesh. I told him shipping was 1500 and he said ok still. He wanted to send me a money order from Camels R' us for 2K and me keep the change  He said it was from a resting depot that sold things like a convenient stores do.
