My boy, Josh and I had some extra parts from the Allis B resurrection project that we're knee-deep into. I ran a classified ad in this site and I received an email response from an "interested" party. it looked a little weird, and the guy said that he was from the UK. Hmmmm.... Well, I replied, then he replied back and it was the same old thing -- "I'll have my purchasing agent in the US pick it up..." It's the old fake cashier's check thing. As a banker, I see this all the time. I had a ROUGH day at work and came home to see this email, which was an obvious scam. Well, here was my reply (censured, of course). Enjoy:"OK, this looks and smells like a bull$h*t scam. Look a$$h@le, if it wasn't for the courage of my fellow "yanks" that saved your miserable island from invasion, you would be speaking German right now, unless you happen to be Jewish. Instead of attempting to scam me, you should be kissing my a$$ and thanking me in the name of your parents and grandparents! My, I'll bet they are proud to see that their offspring has turned into a two-bit thief. I have a great idea -- why don't you GET A JOB and earn an HONEST salary like the rest of us instead of STEALING? You Eurotrash idiots never cease to amaze me." Do you think I was rough on the little fella? - parrothead, the proud American -
