I just received a response to my Copper Canoe Nail Ad, which appears to be the work of a scammer.
Here's what it said.
"HELLO,
I SAW YOUR ADEVERT THAT YOU HAVE A (Copper Canoe Nails) AND AM INTRESTED IN IT I WE WANT YOU TO TELL ME THE LAST OFFER PRICE AND PRESENT ONDITION, MY MODE OF PAYMENT WILL BE IN A CERTIFIED CASHIERS CHECK, IF IT PICS IS AVAILABLE YOU CAN SEND ONE TO ME. IN REGADING SHIPPMNET I AM MAKING ARRANGMENT WITH MY SHIPPER WHO WILL COME AND PICK-UP (COLLECTION)AS SOON AS THISTRANSACTION IS COMPLETED. YOUR RESPONSE WILL BE APPRECIATED.
REGARDS,
SMITH"
It came through a faster mail account {henrybary1@fastermail.com}
I just deleted it but thought I would pass it along for what it's worth as a head's up.
I did a little searching and found that fastermail has a history of scammers using it for this sort of thing.
This link is only one of a few I found along these lines.
