What a Joke...

Okay, so I'm selling my couch on KSL.com, its kind of like a craigslist, but its our local news station's website where they allow free advertising/classifieds. So I have gotten three emails on the website email. I laughed with each of these so I thought I'd share them and hopefully make a fool out of these scammers:

Hello, I Surfed through your Advert of your RC Willey Microfiber Combo Sectional w/ Recliner and Cupholder and i'll like to make enquiry about it.What is your exact selling price for this item without shipping?Can i make arrangements myself by sending my private shippers to have the item picked up at your residence after when payment is confirmed?Let me know your selling price only because since my private shippers exist,there's no need for me to add shipping fees to your selling price.Secondly i will making payment by sending you a Money Order,so the item will be picked up after which payment has been comfirmed...........So if you are ok with this all i want you to do for me is just to email me back with the following request....... NAME: ADDRESS: STATE: ZIP CODE: FINAL ASKING PRICE: Looking farward to hear from you. Jose.
