Re: [AMC-list] warning craigslist amx scam Great Deal**1968 AMC AMX 3904-SPEED - $4500

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My humble and honorable friend! Ironically this just was in this morning's newspaper here and touches on Nigerian scams. And as you mention, the old tired trade of sending someone X amount of check and they cash it and send back Y amount for 'expenses' or usually with old cars 'shipping the vehicle'

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/6969719.html

I moved the old scammers of the $4500 AMX up to top of the 'ebay & craigslist scams' on my site, 

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Shut_Up_Files/ebay_old_car_scammers.htm

if it prevents one AMCer or a old car owner from getting taken before msn terminates the scam email account, or craigslist shuts down their ads by a REAL HUMAN (ain't making that up, the canned craigslist auto reply is below!) but maybe help someone from getting taken...here is craigslist reply:
