Dude, I love those. I ALWAYS respond. I take it to the hilt to waste their time. 30 secs of my time to answer some emails and they're spending time sending fake checks, etc. I've gotten 4 or 5 color photo copied postal money orders and one actually sent a money order that was already endorsed TWICE, and tried to sign it over to me. The bank verified that one was fake. I've had them demanding I ship the item, meanwhile I just drop off the fake moneyorder at the post office with their contact info... It's usually the "I'll send $500 for your $300 dollar item and you cash the check and send the difference and the item, because I trust you.", crapola heh-heh. (I make sure the money order is fake, don't wanna screw a legitimate buyer, of course!) I always fill out the paypal and bank phishing emails with bull$hit. I know on the other end some jackass is trying to use the info and it's going nowhere... truely warms my heart.

My favorite was a couple of years ago, I was selling my 50" rear projection TV on craigslist and this guy send me an email claiming he wants it and he gonna have it shipped to the UK. and give me $400 extra for my time. We're talking a 150lb+ TV shipped to the UK. Like you can't get one there. I mean it was a nice Mitsubishi HD TV and all, but..... This is besides the fact that England uses PAL format too. The worst part is that these dumb a$$ scams are working or they wouldn't bother... :(
