Hello All!

Just listed a car for sale on the marketplace and got a great new scam
email.  Thought you guys might enjoy it!!  :-D

Here it is in its entirity:

"Dear Sir/Madam.
   I tom smith, manager for morin smith automobile,Ports Corporation of
Queensland GPO Box  409 Brisbane Qld 4001,Netherland.We specialise in
purchase of automobiles for customers in Europe,and we get paid in
commission,after payment has been  confirmed by the seller to the buyer.At
present we  have a customer interested in purchasing your  goods mentioned
above for the sum of $2,500 and we  will arrange for the pick up of the item
once  payment is confirmed cleared by you. Please acknowledge the offer and
we will inform the buyer  of your confirmation of acceptance to sell and
have  the funds remitted to you as soon as possible.  NOTE:my customer is a
diplomat and  due to his  job and duties he would want this to be kept in
your  almost conifidentiality and trust,till the end of  this transaction.I
hope you can understand. I look  up to hearing from you.
     Thanks,
      Tom...."

Now for my nitpicking of the world's stupidest criminals.
*How many managers don't capitalize their own names or the name of their
company?
*How many "Queensland"s or "Brisbane"s are there in "Netherland"
*I am following the letter to the word: I am keeping it in my "almost
conifidentiality" (aside from the other terrible punctuation, spelling, and
grammar mistakes)

Sheesh!

Richard
and I'm not using this to get marketplace exposure so I'm not telling you
what car I am selling! :-P
