    I have an ad on the Monroe, LA Craigslist and got this response.



    Will they fall for it?

    :doh:

    Notice the different phone number.
    The text came in the wrong order, read it 1,3,2,4.

    I love it. Write the white house, tell them, auto spell, auto correct, input the wrong data.
    Please send my check to me, once it has been received.

    I usually give them the local sheriff's home address and number or the state attorney general office info if I feel like replying.
    The bad thing is, they would not be taking the time to manually enter your number and text if someone wasn't falling for this crap.

    I like to contact them and ask if "You still have the POS?" They often respond with something like: "Yes, the POS is in good shape!"
    I will then string the idiot along for two weeks until I tell the scumbag how dumb he/she is for trying to sell a "piece of ****."
