Re: craig's list scam?

[fmichael graham <intiaboats@xxxxxxxx>]

Typical craigslist scam letter! I receive same & similar e-mails from "people" with bizarre names, everytime I list a vehicle for sale on craigslist vancouver. In fact, I recently had an ad - "WTB beachable, trailerable sailboat $10,000" I had responses wanting to buy the boat! My understanding is that many of the scam e-mails are from Nigeria where, coincidentally, I've been informed that they are holding $55 million for my collection & all I have to do to collect it is pay $5,000 ...
