Am glad it\'s available. I\'m going on a vacation to London but I will instruct my assistant to prepare and mail your payment which I\'m sure you will get in about4 - 6 business days. I\'ll add $20 extra for the delay. I\'ll pay by M O or cashier check so send me your info (i.e full name, mailing address and your sphone number) so payment can be mailed out immediately. I will also make arrangement for pick-up which will be after you must have received and cashed the payment. Awaiting your info.
Actually, first I got an email asking if the item was still available. I replied that it was. I then got the email pasted above. This guy has been doing this with the same email for at least several months, according to my quick look around online. If anyone has the knowledge to email this guy a hard drive destroying virus, please do it.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
