Enquire and Inquire can be used interchangably btw though it should have been 'enquiry'. Although its obvious that English is not his first language, I would at least reply just in case he s legit. If its a scam it will be obvious soon enough.

If he offers to send you a cashier's check for $1000, of which you are to cash, keep $600, and then send $400 to his shipping agent, you're game, right? Nothing wrong with that setup, right :)

works everytime...:lol:



i guess i would respond and give him a price, you have nothing to lose. but im fairly confident that its a scam. lets just say i would never trust this guy to be my doctor :lol:

eh, what the heck... I sent a reply.


I really hope he sends me a big cashiers check :lol:


If I can't personally meet the guy and get CASH or a check from a verified account, I will not be selling it of course :lol:
