Post by E:v:O »

Okay, I recently advertised a computer I was selling on Loot.com. It was listed as
"P4 3ghz bla-de-bla" anyway I was asking £350 for it, which is a bargain.
I received an Email yesterday from this one dude that went as followed.
Hello seller i am highly interested in your High Performance Computer so i will like you to give me the last price and present condition including the pics and payment will made by a Cheque Drawn in uk bank so get back to me if my offer is accepted and i will be looking forward to read from you
Regards Wall Smith
wallsmith05@yahoo.co.uk

The Price and Pictures including condition were on the ad. So I was all like wtf? This guy cant read..
So I sent him an Email back saying that it was £350 and that it was in Pristine Condition and Full Working order. Then today I received this from him.
Thanks for your mail, and i understand what you said and i will like you to give me the last price of the 'High Performance Computer,' so that we can proceed with the payment and shipping arrangement and i have a shpeer who will handle the pick up so don,t worried about the shipping

He says that he's from "Canada" (everyone trusts Canadians because we're so darn likeable, eh) but he clearly writes with a Nigerian accent.
