Youll receive a message in your email that looks something like this:

"> Thanks for your mail,Since the cost of your bike is $800 i just contacted
my client about the cost of your bike and it present condition and he said
there is no problem about that.So my client said he will be issuing you a
Certified Check of $4000 while you wire 3000 to me through Western Union
Money Trasfer and you deduct the cost of your bike $800 and keep the
remaining $200 which my client said you should take for the terms of
Transaction and Agreement between you and my client.So i will like you to
send me your full contact information to where my client will be sending you
> the Certified Check like this:

> country..........
> zipcode............
> cell/office/home phone number.......................
> I will look forward to the requested information as soon as possible so
that the check can be sent out to you immediately And do get back to me

    Crazy.

    I got an email from someone in Britian who claimed I was selected and had won a BMW and 250,000 dollars and I had to send in my info to claim it. I sent them a response to basically buzz off. They responded angrily. I responded back, cursing them out. Went back and forth, and the ? got mad because I wouldn't let them scam me.

    Shame

    One of exes baby daddy actually fell for one of those and burnt up 2 bank accounts. We would go into his e-mail and entertain ourselves watching the whole thing unfold. One of the funniest things Ive witnessed in life.
