I have 79 magnum grille for sale.   I am only offering $100, the guy says he'll give me $2000 cash but I will have to send the $1900 through wire transfer to Brazil.     Here are two emails he sent to me. I recognize this to be a scam and did not reply to him.
His name supposedly is Harry Wilmer-one email address for this guy is harristores@operamail.com- Just be wary of him and others that send emails like this.

1978 or 1979 Magnum Grille Excellent Condition

Greetings,
I saw your advert and i'm interested in buying your 1978 or 1979 Magnum Grille. Get back to me with your best price for it.
Harry.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your early response. I'm offering $100. I'll pay you $2000(money order) through my client. After deducting the cost, I'll like you to send the rest of the amount (i.e the excess fund) via western union transfer to my shipper for pick up. Get back to me with your full name, contact address and phone number for immediate issuance of your funds. Thanks for your co-operation while anticipating your earliest response.
Harry.

Hi Matt,
I would prefer to pay you in cash directly if i were at home as well pay my shipper sepereately. I'm presently offering my course at para, a small town in brazil, there is no transfer unit there, which is the reason why my client will be issuing you the $2000 money order. All you have to do is deduct the cost of my order upon the receipt of the funds, then send the excess funds through western union transfer to my shipper after which he'll be at your location for pick up. I require your full name, contact address and phone number for you to receive the funds. Hop to read from you soon.
Regards,
Harry.

Thanks for the heads up. The only thing that would really surprise me is if someone actually fell for this kind of crap.

694spdrt: Yeah really, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up so if somebody get this same crap they will just throw it away.

Same thing has happened to me the last 3 times I've advertised anything for sale on our local "freebie ads" site.
Usually the first 3 or 4 responses to my ads are all from scammers. I usually just flush the e-mail without responding however, because I don't want them knowing my e-mail address. They can get in touch with me through a generic "ask seller a question" link, but if I reply, they'll know my addy.

Why not have a little fun with him. Yes send me a check for $2000. My name is....

Yup. they send you the big money order. You deposit it and western union him the difference. A couple days later, you get a call from the bank telling you that the cashiers check is a fake. You're out all the cash.

I screwed with a scammer that made me the same kind of offer. Kept him going for over a month.

The guy was an idiot in Nigeria. His name was Dorcus Smith.

I started every response with "dear" dipshit, dickhead, doofus, you name it.

He never even noticed and he actually did send me the fake money order.
