Scam, I also get similar every time I post something for sale. Do not waste your time on it. He will overpay with a fake cashier's check and ask for a refund and pickup your pin and you will be out on both. Unfortunately heard that story many times.
It has been scientifically proven that light is faster than sound. That is why some people seem brilliant........until they open their mouth!
this is a message I got after posting my pinball... what do you think?
I think, Breakshot (Capcom 1997), this is a from letter in which the scammer just inserts the item, Breakshot (Capcom 1997), and sends a standard phising e-mail, Breakshot (Capcom 1997), hoping to get a sucker
I don't think this could be any more obvious , Breakshot (Capcom 1997), that this is a scam.
Everything from the poor sentence structure, Breakshot (Capcom 1997), to the over-payment, Breakshot (Capcom 1997), and asking for personal info all are HUGE red flags. Breakshot (Capcom 1997).
Like WebSherpa says, I can't believe anybody still falls for that, Breakshot (Capcom 1997).
in a quick e-mail address search, wife likes pinball and pythons! funny

Another email I just received from scammers (even though my Mr.Pinball ad clearly mentions no shipping).
From the time offset, this one really seems to come from the UK. Seems most scammers use yahoo, hotmail or msn mail...
