From: Omnik Samuel <omniksamuel@yahoo.com>
Subject: PAYMENT INFORMATION!

Thanks for your swift response concerning present condition.

Your asking price is affordable.

I have about two of my clients who has interest in the purchase and one of them had responded very positively and and he's ready to send payment to you.

[color=#0000BF]An additional money will be added to your asking price to cover the transportation.

Kindly get back to me with your payment details as below.

PAYMENT INFORMATION:
Your Full Name....which you want on the cheque?
(2). Your Full Address....where the cheque will be send to?
(3). Phone Number .....to call you?

As soon as i receive this details, i will ensure that you receive payment in 3-4 working days. Hope to hear back from you.

I REPLIED AND TOLD HIM BASICALLY THIS IS A SCAM, HE RELIED................

Hello, Yes my client is paying with a bank cheque issued from a cyprus bank. Concerning the sale contract and changing of ownership, there is no problem. As soon as you receive the money, the transporting agent will visit your place with my client's document and sign the necessary papers on behalf of my client. Is that okay with you? If yes, i will be expecting your name and address for payment. Sincerely

Why on earth would you reply to a scammer telling him his email is a scam? Did you think he might not know?
