Them Nigerian sheisters apparently are a-tryin hard these days ta pull their 'oops--I over-paid!' tractor buyin scam. DON'T give anyone that offers you more than what you want for your tractor any information about yourself!

Two examples below of emails I received(I won't write what I sent back) this morning:

"Hello,
I saw your advert while surfing the web and I am very interested in your Case 446 Garden Tractor and Attachments .
I will appreciate if you acknowledge this message possibly with the photo image .But as a matter of urgency I'm ready to pay $2,000 (US$).
Expecting to read from you soonest.
Omon

First time Ive ever put a YT ad and the first two responces were these scams. Looks like where they mark your house for an easy mark. They probably have all kinds of chalk marks and notches for the YT ads. Thats probably where registering closes the door on Aholes like these.

They are also targeting folks with a banking scam. They claim they are relatives of disposed government officials and they have a lot of money but can't bank it in their name. Very sad story so they say. They ask you to open an account for them. They offer a generous portion of their wealth once this account is established (with your money of course). They then take off with your funds never to be heard from again. I have received at least 6 emails from these individuals over the last 30 days. I warned them off by sending it to our states attorney generals office. Helped a little.

I hate to say it, but that is one reason that I don`t sell on ytmags classifieds, I just use ebay and don`t get that scam crap.

I've got a question or two about your 446 Case yard tractor (my friend has a 444 which is similar I think). Could you email me on the above name link when you get a minute? Thanks, Mike.

That was to be, "Careful, boys & girls", but the board software wiped out the '&' symbol in the subject line.

It does that every time, Deese. There's some other symbols that don't work there, too.
