I got more or less the same scam a week ago. I listed my Explorer 16" chrome rims on Craig's list. They wanted my name and address for the check and his shipper to pick them up. Most sites warn you about scammers. But most people don't bother to read the warnings. Fortunately I did. The scammer said he was a Doctor.

Strangely enough, you're the 5th person to ask for my SSN number this week...

Hello

I am interested in buying the 17" konig rim model tantrum that you have placed for sell now, and I would want to enquire about the present condition of the above mentioned, as well as some detail about you. I expect this timely enough.

As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price as I will be paying with a certified cheque.

Lastly, please forward to me your full company's (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through these facilities.

Yours interestingly,
Raymond Griffiths
