    Scammers everywhere

    I got this email about my truck I'm selling to send an email to this guy. So I send it off thinking that he used some site that doesn't allow users to directly contact the seller, anyways today I get this from him.

    Greetings........
    How are you doing today? I am actually making enquiry about your used car listed on the website. I want to make this purchase for my In-law who will need the vehicle for church dedication (the vehicle is a Bronco with 6" lift) in two weeks time. He happened to budget for a car last time and unfortunately it was sold out. Now I am looking up to working with you hoping that you won

    I have come to the conclusion that anybody that starts out with "greetings" or refers to an agent is usually a dead give away to a scam. Seriously, who starts out a letter with "greetings"?

    Greetings,

    I don't what you're talking about...
    It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

    They always send you an email (never call) to inquire about what you are selling. They don't start with hello or how are you, it is always "greetings". And then they go on to say that they themselves can't make the transaction, but their "agent" will take care of the exchange. Capish Rock?

    Well I'm glad somebody picked up on it. I'm growing weary of typing "greetings" before everything I say.

    Greetings,

    I got that same email too. Since there are only 2000 people living in Monticello, and assuming women comprise roughly 55% of the population here....that means that pretty much EVERY SINGLE WOMAN in Monticello wants to have sex with me.


    Ya.....that sounds about right!

    It doesn't count if you are the one that wrote the email.
    Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

    That's funny, You should reply with some total bogus answers, like it has 300 K miles and that it has been in 4 wrecks and also ridiculously inflate the price.
