Hello,

We do take wire transfers and electronic checks and the boat is in great shape and needs a new home.

Please let me know what the next step will be for you in this purchase. Where is the boat going to?

Best regards,

Mary, Forget this one. All this guy wants is to empty your bank account.

[ejstenger]

The only thing that is missing is your social security number and then of course, your first born. Sounds more like it came from Africa and is the biggest scam of the day. The language is definitely not from England. Of course you jumped right on that deal.

[total wreck]

NO GOOD!!!!!!!

[whowantstoknow]

Whahhhh....??

Run. report..thats crazy! do you get that alot? I though I got interesting emails but thats one takes the cake..GOT TO LOVE THEM SCAM ARTISTS!

[gaffer]

RUN don't walk AWAY

I'm currently negotiating to buy a brand new Hatteras with the money I'm going to get from the family of a wealthy Nigerian businessman who was killed in a plane crash. It seems he had hidden assests from an overinflated government contract. Apparently they needed someone in America that they could use to funnel the money out of the country and they called me because they know I'm trustworthy and will not abscond with all the money when they transfer it to my account.

It sounds like a good deal to me. I'm sure the money will start rolling in as soon as they get my $5,000 check to cover the bribes they need to pay to the local officials. I can't wait!

"j_hodge1960@yahoo.com"?? Sounders & Sons can't write checks or afford an email address? Puuuleeeze. What a waste of your time.

Mary, I presume He is form over there! If so, sell Him the Boat! The market for these 23'-25' is very stong. I have sold and shipped 4 boats overseas(2-Greece,1-Italy and 1-Whales) last year and all started with an e-mail just like that! The Italian Guy was a trip!! Instruct Your bank manager to take His call and confirm HIS intentions as far as a wire. He cannot touch Your funds. The info He is asking for is very common for a wire tranfer.
Also, They are usually in a hurry to meet a shipping deadline.

Run, DO NOT walk to the nearest exit.
Looks like a reply from an ad in craigslist.
Got 2 of em and quit trying to list there.
