I got an email from somebody looking at a posting trying to sell a rear seat from a mustang. Seemed fishy to me. What do you guys think?

Goodday,
Is your item still up for sale? if yes,I am very much interested in buying your item and i am ok with the asking price. I am only able to make payment by money order at this time b/c i am away on assignment. Please provide me with your name , address and phone number for payment. It will be nice if you can send me some pictures.It will take about 7days for payment to get to you. As per pick-up, I will make arrangement for the pick-up after payment has been received by you. I don’t mind adding $30 so you can keep it in my favor.Please take the posting off craigslist today and consider it sold to me. Thanks
Expecting to hear from you soon.
Regards,
G. Fraiser

oh oh oh since we’re on the topic:

"Thanks for the details,hope this is not coming too late?I’m buying the Samsung Mobile phone as a birthday gift for my stepson who just got admission into one college in West Africa, i’ll like it to be delivered to him because I am currently out of town on a business trip.

I’ll be adding an extra $85 for expenses and shipment fees and i’ll be making the payment through paypal. If you have a paypal account, send a paypal money request to my paypal mail address jessdavies001@gmail.com, so i can make payment and if you dont have paypal,please go to paypal’s website www.paypal.com and sign up, its easy and free.Very safe and secure too.

Thanks , have a blessed new week!"

My Response: “The phone is CDMA - West African carriers are GSM.”

“I understood what you are talking about but i will be looking forward to hear from you…I really want to buy the item from you.Get back to me.Thanks,”
