    First time i've ever recieved one of the nigerian scam e-mails this morning,
    you know the ones, they want to buy something your selling, so someone else
    will send you a cheque for 10 grand, you take your money out of it and send
    them the rest, and they collect the bike.. never to be seen again etc,

    Only i have no bike, and am not selling one if i did, i do however have a
    few WANTED adverts on sites, asking for a kmx/dt 125 type bike,

    so this morning i was surprised to get an e-mail asking questions like this
    "i will like to know how much
    you are willing to sell this KMX/DT 125 style bike I'm highly intrested in
    buying it.I would like to know your last offer on this KMX/DT 125 style
    bike and what is present condition"

    Certianly some strange people out there.. tho this looks more like a
    computer generated response.. i.e it picks up on keywords, and copies them
    to the relevent places and makes the e-mail,

    Wonder if i should reply, get some pictures off ebay or something, and
    pretend i have the bike, and get some money off them for something i don't
    have? after all, they can't nick what i don't have, i'd give an address of
    an abandoned building, where i could get to check the post for my fake
    cheque from them, and i'll tell them my name is a mr CASH, so i get a cheque
    from them saying "pay..CASH.. 10 grand" then take it to one of these dodgy
    cheque cashing places,

    would that work i wonders.. :)

    i know the replies i'll get now.. and no i'm not realy that thick.. can't
    prove that but i'm not :)

    "CampinGazz" <> struggled to ejaculate:

    You could try, by writing with punctuation and the occasional use of
    the Shift key. For example.
