Here is the text of my answer to one of these scammers interested in a Pro-Ject Phono Box:

SARA-ROSE:
I have ten thousand (10,000) of these units on hand in a warehouse in
Bujumbura. The usual wholesale price is USD 29,000 each, but for large
quantities I could lower that to USD 13,131.31 each. Payment should be sent
directly to our account in Grand Cayman at the "Standard Universal Imperial
Royal Mercantile Bank of Commerce and Ice Cream Parlour" account number
131313. Please confirm how many of these units you want. All prices quoted
are FOB Bujumbura.
I thank you for your interest and look forward to a long and healthy business
relationship with you.
You may also want to consider some of our other fine products in stock for
prompt delivery and which are generally purchased by government agencies
throughout the world and beyond. Most of these fine products have received
the high acclaim "By Appointment to Zapata"
Ratto B. Bugyourass, CEO Universal Commerce, Trading and Go-Down Company PLC"


I know, I have entirely too much time on my hands.

I bid on an item and lost. Then the seller contacts me saying he also has another one new in box. Wants Western Union check then will send. Once I said I could pickup and hand him the cash I never heard from him again. THEN another person from over sea's say I have one of the units you were bidding on. Western Union me a check and I'll send you unit. Are these people actually getting people with this crap?

 

Been toying with a couple of the vermin myself! (nt), posted on October 5, 2004 at 08:57:51
