|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board This is fun - classified spam Ethan Magoc, Student/Intern Erie | PA | United States | Posted: 12:18 PM on 10.07.10 ->> I could be wrong, and maybe this is a real person, but it seems spambots from the Classified Ads have become very well programmed. Mainly posting this to see if anyone here has received similar "inquiries" in regard to their classified postings. Automated e-mails are one thing, but this seems to be new. The giveaway was probably the upping of the offer for an admittedly outdated camcorder. And this: "...and they said their is no problem in coming to your place for the pick up" I think I'd rather they didn't. -- Dear Thanks for mail.well i will like to tell you that am really interested in buying HV20 i will like you to give me the full details about it and also the prsent condition ,I have discuss the shippment with my shipper and they said their is no problem in coming to your place for the pick up Concerning the price Its okay by me and also i will like to make you an offer for $350. I need you to get back to me with all the details so that we can proceed on the payment and shippment. Hope my offer is Gladly accepted by you. Thanks and God bless you.

Or, they respond to your "advert." Usually same scam as above. They've gotten away from offering to send a check or MO to requesting your PayPal info.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
