Posted my Kub on several classified boards only two days ago, and just received an email this morning. I felt obligated to reply...since he apparently couldn't even spell his own name correctly. ;)

Jerry: London, eh? Right! Unfortunately, this tractor is located in
Nigeria--or some other piss-hole of the world-- and doesn't actually exist.
It's merely a figment of your imagination.

You got to be f'ing kidding me! If you want to close deals like this and scam
people out'a their money, lose the email "accent" and learn to sound halfway
intelligent. Loser!

Franciswr,

Please don't provide your contact information to any of these shady folks. You will soon find that your email box will be packed full of garbage -- most of which will involve illegal financial gimmicks. With enough information, they will even attempt to raid your bank account, credit cards, etc.

Be careful.

Joel ....

Francis, if you have 5 minutes of spare time, and wish to do your part to help to stop crooks like "Jery" send him an email, saying you accept his offer.

When the letter and cheque arrives, just forward it to the nearest police or FBI office with a note of what it is, they might be interested in mail and bank fraud.

Best of luck. ....

Accepting his offer with the intent to turn him into authorities could cause you some trouble too. There are stories of people doing that and the scammers get some guys to pay them a visit. They are thugs and even empty threats will cause sleepless nights. If you do want to play with him you should be completely untraceable, which is sort of hard to do if you have legitimate business and need people to contact you to make a sale. ....
