Myers, FL	I posted a set of E1 rims here in the classifieds, then last night at around 1120PM i received a phone call from a lady that was relaying a message from someone using the their internet as a their phone, they asked me to email the info on the rims, so this morning i got this as a reply. Even the spelling is wrong. Besides they got my email from the classified how come they could not send me a PM? Tell me what you guys think? ------------------------------------------------------------ From: "celia woods" <c_woods007@outgun.com> Add to Address Book To: "suriel rosario" <surielrosario@yahoo.com> Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2005 12:12:49 +0800 Subject: payment information needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Total scam!!! #1 No new Contour's. #2 If they're in the UK then their English should be better than what's written in that email. No reason to go out of country to get a company to buy you rims. #3 If they're in the UK why would you ship a Contour over there when you could get a Mondeo!!!! If they want the wheels before the payment.. Run. If you trust this, then cash the check (wait 7-10 days) to see if it clears before you send the wheels. 1996 2.5LT V6 Contour ATX My Tour+help/info pics E0 rims, Gutted Pre-Cats,CTA Custom Exhaust & Intake, Diablo Chip.

Quote: payment information needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is how many of the scam emails i receive are titled. i cant believe theyre actually starting to call. that is creepy that's why i dont put my phone # or email addy in the classifieds here, just pm. if they cant pm then they arent seriously interested.

It is free and can be hours of fun if you have a lot of gullable friends to prank call. But yea, this is a total scam, do not proceed any further in this business transaction. http://www.cardomain.com/id/99svtslo
