Same exact ad it seems... Manhattan, NYC.

It may just be the weird grammar and syntax, but I find that ad supremely fishy.

Its in Philly craigslist too. That kit is worth MUCH more than the same listed price on the cl ads.

Reeks of fraud. It's on the DC C-List too. If I were a bit more bored, I'd haggle with the guy just to see how "low" he'd go.

 

[Merkin]

sounds like it is more of an M419 than an M6 😉

I always wondered why scammers never learn how to write properly. They would make so much more profit if they only tried. I guess we should be thankful 😛

when there is little chance that you have gone to school the writing naturally suffers.

Wow. I would like to congratulate this guy on winning this year's award for Most Pitifully Transparent Scammer Alive. I almost feel bad for the guy.

True. But still, it's not always the case. Take a look at the infamous Powerbook Prank, in which a scammer got scammed. The scammer was capable of executing a denial of service attack on a website (which is not a simple task), yet he wrote like most scammers do.

I'm getting some fancy looking certificates printed up, complete with a gold seal. PM me for my mailing address, then enclose five $20.00 bills in an envelope (plus $3.00 for mailing the certificate) and in less than a week you'll be able to proudly announce to your wife "Al Kaplan scammed me out of one hundred bucks! See! It says so right here on this cool looking certificate! Let's go to the mall and pick out a nice frame!"

 

[Merkin]

I'd be willing to pay five bucks, shipping included, for an "Al Kaplan scammed me out of 100 bucks" certificate, complete with gold seal.
