I always laugh when the scammer does not even know what item it is that they are buying . . . but I guess when you have so many scams to keep track of you can get them mixed up. :roll:

Glad you did not get sucked into this one!

I have always been told when something sounds too good ... it probably is - well I read that email and like I say as wonderful as it would have been to sell that boat, it just did not feel right, sound right, seem right, and I thought well, I could be being cynnical or paranoid but I still had to bring it to you for your opinion -- you felt the same as me, So, thanks for having this website, being a part of this to help people out...
