I was selling a Woodley\'s office set on Craigslist: This is what she writes you:

Thanks for your response, I am sorry I am not around to view and inspect due to the nature of my job, I am in the United States Army and serve as a CBRN Specialist (74D).

Thanks for your response, its a pity I am not around to view and inspect due to the nature of my job, I am in the United States Army and serve as a CBRN Specialist (74D). I am buying this as a gift although I cant present it myself as I have just been redeployed. We are not allowed to make or receive calls frequently for security reasons but we have access to the internet and that is our major means of communication to the outside world. I am OK with your asking price and if you dont mind, I can only pay through PayPal at the moment be cause its the most secure way to make or receive payment online this is why I'll prefer using PayPal to pay you, all I need is your PayPal email to make the payment and if you don't have a PayPal account, its pretty easy and secure to set up at www.paypal.com. I have a few questions for you.
Whats its condition, any damages? Can I see a few closely taken pictures? Are you the original owner and what is your reason for selling?
I hope you consider my offer because I am ready to buy, so you can take the add off craigslist. I'll have a hauler come for pick up after I make payment and money is in your hand. Thanks for understanding, hope to read from you soon.

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.
