The other day I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! seeking advice about a suspicious inquiry I'd received about my CL ad for the wheels and tires from my Envoy.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Well, last night I got a nearly identical inquiry via text, asking my if my "add" was still available (no mention of what I'm selling specificially), what my lowest asking price was, and requesting that I respond to a similarly-structured Gmail address. This time the number is from New Mexico (first one was from RI, I'm in IA).

Pretty conclusive evidence that they're both scammers.

So Oppo, I'm thinking I should have fun with this last one and respond in a strange way to the text. Got any suggestions?

I was thinking I'd say something along the lines of "Yes, the 35 Justin Bieber wax sculptures are still available, make me an offer."

Scams, all of them. Commonplace. Just tell them up front that it'll be cash, in person, at a Starbucks.

Then what do you do if it's genuine?
