Craigslist SPAM

I just posted some items on Craigslist for my dad. About 15 minutes later I got what I thought was a legitimate email from a guy named Terry (who lives in England). So I responded to him, asking how in the world he expected to buy the item when he lives abroad. Right after I hit the send button on my reply, I got more emails, all the same format. Now I'm pissed that I just replied to some spammer who now has my yahoo email address, doh! Here is the contents of one of the emails from "Terry".
