Lazy Astrobuysell Scammers

[Euan]

Hi folks,

I've had a couple of hilarious emails from scammers on Astro Buy Sell.

The best was when I put up a wanted add for a QHY8, I got this

I am Brian Cohen from Madrid,Spain,i came across your advert on website that you are in need of the above subject stated,i just want to used this little words of mine to let you know that i have it for sale,and still in a good condition, if you need some pics of the item i can send them to you once i heard from you so we can bargain price and i will need your complete address for shipping purpose, please i only need a serious buyer and i do accept check payment ,international money order and western union money transfer,MoneyGram money Transfer and paypal and also let me know what method of payment you prefer..You can call me on +34057344449 or send me an email for further discussion

So then, I emailed back and asked for some pictures, then got this email:

Thanks for your email..I have attached a picture for you and it is in good condition and work perfectly well...The equipment is great and wonderful...I will be asking 4000GBP for the complete equipment including shipping and insurance to your doorstep..I accept paypal as my payment method and as soon as payment is receive,I will ship and i will forward you the shipping tracking details thanks and hope to hear from you soon

He attached to it a picture of a full blown imaging setup, based around an LX200

If you are going to try and make it in the world as a criminal how could you possibly be too lazy to not even check out what I was asking for?
