HAVING
FUN WITH A SCAM ARTISTE.
I'D ADVERTISED A "LOUDSPEAKER CHAIR" ON CRAIGSLIST. IT WAS AN OFFICE "DESK CHAIR" WITH FIVE LOUDSPEAKERS MOUNTED IN IT, ALONG WITH AN ACCOMPANYING STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER.
IT CREATED BONE SHAKING SURROUND SOUND TO ENHANCE THE ENJOYMENT FOR VIDEO GAME PLAYERS.
MY YOUNGEST KID HAD GROWN OUT OF THAT PHASE OF HIS LIFE, THANKFULLY.

Hello ,
Thanks for the reply and the information you sent. Concerning payment I have just called my bank manager now and he has said he'd be sending a check of $2000 to your contact address in which you will remove the asking price $225 after cashing it in a local check cashing point since it is a check and an extra $100 for your running around and then wire the balance to the shipper via western union money transfer that he will use for all his flight charges and for the insurance of the shippment when being shipp ed and also I would want you to do this for me because the shipper also has some other shippment to do for me in the state. I hope I can trust you on this?
The information of the shipper will probably be sent alongside the check. I will notify you if he has sent it. Looking forward to completing this transaction with you.Get back to me asap all western union charges and cahing store fee must be deducted from the shipping funds.
Waiting fror yor reply soon.
Thanks

Dear William:
I will hold the chair for you for a maximum of 10 days. If the check from your bank does not arrive at my address by then, I will sell the item to the next highest bidder. OK?

Dear Mr. Wellman,
My name is Margaret ******* and I am the wife of Jeff *******.
We came back from our holiday earlier this week and the day after we returned my husband went to his bank to deposit the $2,000 check he received from your bank.
The bank teller asked him to wait a few minutes and then two policemen entered the bank and arrested him for depositing what they claim is a counterfeit check. He is being held in the county jail in Athol*, Massachusetts and the judge has set his bail at $5,000.
Mr Wellman, I don't have the $5,000 I need to get him freed. I think some horrible mistake has happened. My husband believed your check is OK, but he can't do anything to straighten this matter out until he is released from jail.
Since this happened because of the check you sent him, I hope you will help us solve the problem by sending a check for $5,000 payable to me so I can get my husband released. As soon as we get everything straightened out I will return the $5,000 to you. Don't worry, you can trust me.
Please let me hear from you as soon as possible, the children miss their father and Christmas is just two days away.
Yours in Jesus,
Margaret

Shoosh, you'd think that by now those idiots sitting in Nigerian internet cafes would learn how to use a spell checker.
Barnum was right..........
But it's claimed by some that it wasn't Barnum who said "There's a sucker born every minute", it was a competitor of his named David Hannum, at least according to this cite:
