Is the e-mail sounds like a 'SCAM' ?

Curious but serious buyer, Take the USPS MO, it's as good as cash. Frequently when a seller has a sparse ad I have sent something similar with numerous questions, the only thing that is wierd about this one is none of your listed items would need a freight company... unless it is something no longer listed.

This is a standard form inquiry sent by a guy to everyone that has a classified at Audio Asylm.I received 3 at the same time on 3 different items.I sent him a note back and never heard from him again.A Scam artist..........Search AA for more discussion.

I think that all of the questions are reasonable. The very poor spelling and grammar concerns me a bit because this is typical of scam ads from foreign countries. I have come across this type of thing myself in response to somthing I was selling. Write back to the person and see what type of reply you get. I wrote back to a person who sent me a similar type of e-mail. I received no direct discussion or acknowledgements of the contents of my e-mail; rather, I received an equally garbled e-mail regarding shipping arrangements. I then walked.

It could be that the person just doesn't speak English very well; however, I would be cautious.

I would take the postal money order option and cash it. Only then would I send the equipment. I would be more cautious about a cashier's cheque. I have heard of circumstances where such forged cheques even fooled the bank, who might subsequently try to obtain recompense from you.

It's always a major red flag when someone other than your g/f signs an email xxxxxxxx. i also don't trust the look of his email address.

When someone tries to rush you though a deal it's almost always a scam. this scam seems to be a fake money order and a quick pickup before your bank can notify you.

i think this is the same guy who is managing his uncle's fortune in Uganda and needs your bank account info to help him get the money out.
