Received this answer to my ad on Craigslist for my MH:

Hi there, Thank you for getting back to me.Can you assure me that it's
in good state and that i will not be disappointed in it?I'm ready to
pay your asking price and to be honest, i want to buy this for my Dad
as his birthday gift. I a marine biologist that works on the sea at
the moment. phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted
but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email
regarding it so my only quickest payment option is PayPal as i can
send money via PayPal anytime.Since I'm requesting this transaction to
be done via PayPal, i will be responsible for all the pay pal
fee/charges on this transaction and if you don't have an account with
paypal,its pretty easy, safe and secured to open one. Just log on to
www.paypal.com. I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible? I
have a mover that will come for it once payment clears . i will like
to see more pics i look forward to hear back from you soon. details
that i needed are below

Your PayPal e-Mail Address :
Full name:
Firm Price:
Your cell phone number:
God bless you.

First, I think I have seen someone else quote this passage almost verbatim. Second, I have only had one other response to my ad, and it came from a different email. Third, who is going to buy a 25 year old motor home sight unseen? Fourth, does he really think I will give him all that information in an email?

Looks a little fishy to me.

It's totally legit, the guy is backed by a Nigerian Prince. They are so easy to deal with since they will send you a cashier's check for an amount greater than the purchase price. They will let you take out your reasonable fees and then send them back the difference. Much easier than haggling over the price. The really nice thing is, they won't even show up to pick up your rig. You can continue to use it now and forever.
