Thanks. There seems to be an explosion of them lately, kind of like pond scum.

Here's the e-mail I got.

I intend to proceed with the purchase as soon as I'm sure that its what I'm looking for. First off, I will like to know your final asking price for this product, I will like to know its current conditions (both working state and physical state{kindly send me some pictures to confirm this}). And lastly, let me know your preferred method of payment.
Thanks for your time and I will be waiting to hear from you as soon as possible.
Best Regards, Peter Werth. 206-309-3996

Have we seen this Peter Werth fellow before? What makes you think this is a fraudulent email?

LOL! He's sending emails to EVERYONE who has an ad in the classifieds, that could be a tipoff. Not to mention that he asks the price (she posted it), for condition (she clearly described it), for photos (she posted them) and for preferred payment method (which you can't submit the classified ad without stating!)

I don't have an ad in the classifieds, so I didn't know that, bj. I was merely asking for additional information before I deleted a member who might possibly be legitimate. I've locked both of those accounts now and deleted the movie topics. Thanks for the information.
