Ok guys, I've got my Stang listed in our Classifieds. Well I go to my own email, and find this in my inbox. I've had to deal with these before, but to anyone who hasn't... This is what a scam looks like.

Hello to whom it may concern let me know if the advert is available, and your
last asking price and pics if available i will be paying with money order i'll
be expecting your respond thanks.

Get back to me through this e mail adress [email protected]
So if anyone is selling anything right now, be careful. And if you get an email that sounds like this, here's a good response to send back...
Hello,
If you are interested in the Mustang, Email me with a phone # I can reach you at. No offense, but I've dealt with scammers before, and your email sounds completely automated. If I'm wrong, I apologize. Otherwise, here's the deal...
I will not ship the car. I will not release the car until the "money order" is cashed. I will not accept personal checks, money orders, cashiers checks, or payment of any kind from any account outside the U.S. Nor will I release the car to an agent, middleman, anyone other than the actual buyer of the car.
In addition, if the "money order" I recieve is for greater than the agreed purchase price, do not ask me to send you the difference. I will not accept or cash it.
I really can't stand these bastards, they're all over ebay motors, like mosquitos. Annoying as hell.
