I get an email from someone who is interested. It sounds just a little fishy, but then again, I'm paranoid. I decide to email him back. However, the emails get considerably more fishy-sounding....Here are the emails (email addys and phone numbers deleted). All spelling/grammar errors are as sent - and yes, one of the emails he did send to me twice.I'm Kat (Kathy) in the emails below. The prospective buyer is John.[sblock]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Kat <EMAIL>  Fri, Jul 8, 2005 at 8:34 PM  Reply-To: Kat <EMAIL> To: EMAIL  John,Yes, the vehicle is still available.
