I understand it is tough to forge the "source" IP address in the email header that is enclosed in the double brackets, but I am probably as naive in that department as some who are plagued by the Nigerian Scams. I wonder... did the so-called buyer request pictures of the tractor, or visit on the phone, or email with details only a real buyer that knew anything about tractors would ask?
