Aaron Aug 25, 2005 10:39 PM

from somebody wanting to buy some Trans-Pecos Rats I posted here. Here is their email. Notice they say their name is Mary J. and at the end sign it David Morgan. Plus they say I am selling Spitting Cobras and the add I posted was for Trans-Pecos Rats.

GOOD DAY,MY NAME IS MARYJ,I HAIL FROM SAN ANTONIO & I AM
INTERESTED IN BUYING YOUR ITEM PLACED ON THE NET,GET BACK TO ME WITH THE FINAL ASKING PRICE AND ALSO THE LATEST CONDITION.CASHIERS CHECK & MONEY ORDER BOTH DRAWN FROM USA BANK IS THE PAYMENT METHOD,I AWAIT YOUR SOONEST RESPONSE AS SOON TODAY ITEM FOR SALE. BLACK-NECKED SPITTING COBRA (MONSTERS) DAVID MORGAN NAME........
ADDRESS............
CITY......
STATE....
ZIP CODE........
PHONE # BOTH HOME AND CELL.....
I await your this info so that I can fax it down to my client that will send u the payment

And here was my response:

I am sorry Arnold Schwartsneger told me he would dress up as the Terminator
and come to my son's Birthday Party if I sold him the snakes so I have to go
that route. He says he will bring a Robot and blow it to smithereens right
before our very eyes so we have to wear goggles and lifejackets to protect
us from the shrapnel. I have to go now because Angelina Jolie is coming for
dinner and the Spam is almost done frying.
Hello,
Aaron

Maybe I will email them in a couple days and tell them Arnold backed out and now I can only get George Castanza and so they are back up for sale but I would rather trade for some Milli Vanilli CD's.

It's about people buying/selling horses, but the gist us the same, as is the absolute stupidity of the scammers.
