Hey all,
I was surfin Kijiji USA the other day and noticed an ATV that seemed like a good deal. There are alot of smokin good deals out there right now with the recession and thought that this might be one of them.
Anyways before I show the emails I am sure most of you are familar with the Nigerian Scams, send us money and we will ship you the item.
Anyways this turned out to be one of them. Here are the emails that we have exchanged over the past few days as I played along with him....
Email #1
Hello,
I seen your ad on Kijiji that you have a 2006 Honda Rincon for sale. I am very interested in this ATV. Could you please let me know if you still have it for sale.
Thanks

Hi,
I have no interest in having this shipped to me. If you do not mind I will personally come and look at it and pick it up. Let me know where you are located and I will come and see it.

Drew Good,
The atv is already crated at the shipping Co. and is ready to go.
I will try to tell you in few words how the process works through iEscrow.
Their primary purpose is to protect buyers and sellers from fraud. iEscrow services accept and hold payment from the buyer until the buyer receives and approves the merchandise. Only then do they forward the payment to the seller.
If you are really interested in the purchase please get back to me asap with your full name and shipping address so I can forward them at iEscrow in order to open a case and they will guide you through the rest of the process so we can complete this deal successfully and in the best manner !
Sincerely,

Martin,Thats no problem, I can drive to the shipping company and pick it up with you. Do you have a problem with me giving the cash to you in person? I can be at your place in less than 24 hours with cash in hand.
Regards

I am a very busy man and the reason I set this transaction up this way is to protect both myself and the buyer from any fraud. I am not available to meet in person but would gladly continue the process thru iEscrow if you choose to buy the ATV
