IML: Concerning the sale of my '73 Coupe...

[K C <chromacolor2@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sorry if this makes me a tease, but after much
discussion, my wife and I have decided to "hold" the
sale of the '73 Coupe. (My wagon is getting some
action on the 'bay, which also helps.) She really
likes the coupe, and I think she attaches a lot of
good memories to it. Add that to the fact that we've
never really "enjoyed" the car together, (she drove it
in MI while I was in AZ) the idea of his/her's
Cantalope/Banana color '73s, (plus all this recent
fuselage love) and well, uh... I just can't pull the
trigger. Thus I apologize if I wasted anyone's time.
I've pulled the ad from the IML classifieds. This is a
side effect of liking old Mopars too much!

However, I will share an amusing side effect... Within
30 minutes of posting that ad, I already had a few
people from Nigeria, Ireland, and South America who
also wanted to buy the car.... How about that? I
decided to reply to one of those offers, just to see
if these morons actually read the response. It went
something like this...

> My name is Susan Lopez,I`m living in Ireland. I

> Coupe)and get back to me with this questions below: 

> (A) present conditions ...

Right now, it's on fire in my driveway.

> (B) the reason why you want to sell..

I found dead bodies in the trunk, and believe it may
be haunted.

> C) bottom price before i make out my payment mode..

$270,000


Then I received this reply...

I have finally discussed with the buyer and he has
accepted to purchase your property at the price
stated,he hopes that the Rare 1973 LeBaron is in good
condition. He can't wait to see this property in his
location.He deposited cashiers check of
($310,000)before he travelled to Japan on a business
trip, for a cancelled order and its shipment charges
etc, but it was unfortunately sold. The amount on the
check he deposited for the order is bigger than what
should be paid to you now, so the check is now meant
for the total expenses which includes the purchase of
your Rare 1973 LeBaron, the pick up of the property
from its present location.... 

Blah, blah, blah for about another five paragraphs of
complex details.

These Nigerian (Irish?) scam artists should realize
that we Americans DO NOT have the attention span to
read through all that jibberish. At least if you're
going to scam me, don't make me read so much!!!
