    Think this might be a scam....

    I put an Integra radiator up for sale and got this reply....


    "I came across your AD on craigslist and I'm very interested in purchasing your item. Firstly I want to make sure its the similar type that my son is after. I know it's a bit odd for a mom to be looking in the auto part section but It's his birthday coming up and I want to make it a BIG surprise for him. I'm a single mom and obviously know nothing about car parts (lol). So I'm hoping you can help me out. Heres a video I copied from my son's PC. Can you please take a look and confirm its the same type. VID1 (if not work try VID2). I'm willing to pay more than what youre asking for as long it matches the video description and you can reserve it for me.

    Cheers!
    Anne."

    First video clip goes to a ww.dwarfurl.com and the second goes to about??u??r??ul??? blah blah blah.


    AS IF I'M GOING TO CLICK THOSE.

    If this doesn't tickle your scam funny bone then I don't know what will.


    I need responses to send back.

    i smell a scam. Why would she buy him a radiator as a birthday present? More like a sweater or football, not a radiator.

                    Sometimes when I'm bored at sea, I'll amuse myself by responding to one of these. I change the name of the item in every response and see how long til they figure it out.....THEY NEVER DO!!! LOL.

                    As for the people who actually try to deal with these people....continuing proof of how people are stupid!

                      The toying has begun. Nothing special though.

                        its def a scam, but you prolly know this already. i got almost that exact email when i was trying to sell my car. except she wanted me to look in the video and see if it was the same model car her son wanted.

                          I don't get what the end of the scam is though? Just to fuck your PC?
