I'm posted an ad on Craigslist to BUY a phone and received this:
"hello,
i am interested in item you are
willing to sell ..please mail me
back as soon possible if your item
is still in good condition..i need it
shiped for my son in sudan
representing the united nations peace keeping force there.
i am located in california but not in state at the moment
thanks
Rev.charles"

So to take a break from bashing the President, I figured I'd take up Spam-baiting.

I sent the Reverend this: Using an on line Latin Gibberish generator at http://www.lipsum.com/

"Hello Hank Carl

He then sent me this:
"hello,

to pay the sum of $xxxx) for my
son in sudan who is with the
united nations ..please note that i
want the item to be shiped to him

Next I sent him this:
"MY NAME IS: perspiciatis unde omnis
MY ADDRESS IS: 1783746732184
modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam STREET
MY CITY IS: quis nostrum exercitationem

PLEASE HURRY
THE ITEM YOU WISH TO BUY FOR YOUR SON IS $ 11,898.00

THANKS FOR SHOPPING CRAIGSLIST. "

I just hope that Derek doesn't get the account and make me pay the Reverend!

Notice how the reverend was first a California resident, then a Nevada resident.

Jeez if you are trying to establish trust, those aren't states I'd first pick.
With Nevada, Arizona and Florida known as boiler room hosting states and california well...I mean how about Kansas or somewhere not on the Creator's first strike list. LOL

I think a lot of folks are striking back at the many scammers on line.
NIGERIA Email scams

So what is the catch here, they are triying to ge tsomething and somewhere down the line screw you out the money. Or will they be triying identity theft?

Interesting.
