I have recieved several of those generic bot generated emails offering to buy my "item" after I posted an ad on the museum classifieds. Some of these are obviously scams but there is one I can not tell either way. I do not understand how this scam works. Can I still be scammed if I insist on a US Postal Service money order sent to my PO Box? Here is a copy of the latest email I have gotten. I really think it is a scam since he hasn't insisted on pictures, makes the characteristic spelling mistakes, and seems to be in quite a hurry. However, I do not remember ever telling him I was selling a "calculator". All he should know from his bot is that I am selling an "HP-48GX". Maybe he just does his homework.
DEAR i told you before that i am very much intrested in your calculator, and i kneed it urgently.
You said the you will like to collect $300, and you prefer money order.
That is ok by me. All i want from you is your adress and phone number so that my client will issue you the money order check that will cover both the price and the shipment.
Do that without delay.
BEST REGARD
