More scam stuff

[Bob Parmenter]

It's been tossed about before, but it doesn't hurt to keep it fresh in people's minds. I've got my car listed on Cobra Country and got this email inquiry. It's uncut, and unedited so those not familiar with the M.O. get a flavor for it. Typically there's a counterfeit cashier's check or money order involved, and a very rapid pickup by the carrier before the hoax is discovered. Clues are poor syntax, no quibble with price, and no request for additional info on the car.
