Possible Scam?

[chevy88]

Hello Seller,

My Name is Bob Waibe, I saw your advert that was posted at the race dezert website, and i am willing to purchase the ( item ) posted for sale. So i will like to know the present condition, status and your last selling price offer that you are willing to let it go, moreso how long have you been using it?

Emailed him back and this was the response.

Thanks for the feed back, I'm okay with the explanation, price and condition. But i will be leaving my home town state tomorrow to another home town state in NEVADA STATE for a speculative purpose with our company and board of directors concerning a road construction. As per payment i will have to instruct my wife to send you a certified cashiers check via UPS or USPS courier service which will take only 3-5 business working days to get to you, cos this is the only means of payment i can offer you now due to my present departing schedule. And you should not worry about the shipping, i have my shipper that will come down to your location for the pick up as soon as payment is done and clarified.

So to issue out payment to you, you'll have to get back to me with the following:

1,Name to be written on check.....................
2,Full Contact Address to send the check......................
3,Your Contact Telephone Or Mobile Numbers.....................

Awaiting to read from you soonest.
Sincerely,
Bob.

Of course it is a scam.
Anything you get with the word "advert" in it is a scam.

Got the same message from the same guy today. Here's my response, hope you like it.

Mr. Bob,
I think your supposed to fill in the ()'s with the actual item you are trying to steal. I also like how you forget that your last name has a L on the end, its cool, heroin makes me forget my name too. If you read the advert, whatever that is, you would see that the present condition, status(how does a tool have status, please explain), and selling prices are listed.

Now the funny part starts. I send this email to you, and you email me back with a response like I actually fell for your con. Why do con artists always do that? Can't you read. Are you too lazy to actually write a manipulating response trying to make me believe that you aren't a con? Nope, you think I'm retarded and will forget that I wrote this email.

So I guess that you should just send your paypal info, so I can save us both some time and send you some money.
I always enjoy donating to criminals, THAT'S WHY I PAY MY TAXES.

People like you need a plan:
Plan A: Somewhere by you is a Bridge. Below the bridge is a road with cars driving on it. Walk to bridge and jump off. Assuming you will fail at suicide(just like everything else), the cars will work great as plan B.
