So I put up an ad to sell a frame/fork. Then I open a reply excited to see someone interested in buying it. Instead I get this from "Jerry Thomas":
"Hello, how are you doing ,hope fine. i saw your advert placement on( web) . i will like you to tell me the present condition of it and also the last price of it. i will like you to know that i will be arranging for the shipment and dont worry about the pick up, once you recieve your payment the pick up will be set up. i will like you to get back to me quikly to let me know if is still available for me to buy .byee"
Tired of this, yet bored, I reply back with the following:
"Hello,
Me want sell bike immeditly. Buy right. Send me money by expressial means. Me love you long time".
Then I get this:
"PAYMENT AND PICK UP BASE ON TRUST
