->> Hey there, I had a classified up that didn't necessarily sell anything so I wanted to warn you folks that are selling things if you get an email from some one like this to be careful. It sounds like a scam or spam could be wrong but just wanted to warn you:

Message from: Britain
Britain's email address: Britain_s@yahoo.com
Britain's phone number: n/a
Message from Britain:

Q 2: Hope the item still available for sale with good condition state?

Q 3: What is the final asking price you are willing to sell the item for me?

Q 4: Let me have attach of the picture of the item you want to sell for me?

->> Konstandinos,

it is distinctly a scam message. I'd post classifieds as members only from now on.

From Before: "About now Chuck Liddy will make some sort of joke.. followed by George Bridges, then Steven E. Frischling will say a few words, post a link to his blog perhaps, then 5 others will make puns about Steven always linking to his blog, fish smelling, etc.."

That is all.
