on
craigslist.org and I will like to have the item soonest and I will be happy if you
can sell the item to me. Presently I am out of states for a research
work on AIDS and HIV. I will have my shipper to come and pick up the
item ,once the payment has been finanlised.....ok,Also, I will like you to
send me the final price for the item, your full name,address and phone
number to send the
money order to and for the pick up. Please get back to me through this
email account.

A few years ago, I got a Nigerian scammer to say that he loves me. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it.
