Here is another hoax like the one Jennifer Turner sent you. This was sent to my daughter when she listed some furniture on recycler.com.

Please don't post my email address or my daughter's when you list this with the other hoaxes. Thanks.

Hello,
          Thanks for the Information.I intend to start
on how  you'll be recieving your payment as soon as
possible through  my associate who's in US. I'll
instruct him to issue out an american fund cashier's
check in your name the total amount his oweing me on
our last transaction which is closed at $3700...You'll
receive it as soon as possible, Immediately you get
this check i want you to take it to a cashing centre
nearest to you, cash it and deduct your $900 for the
and you'll wire the remaining balance to the shipping
agent in Nigeria through Western Union Money Transfer.
For them to come for the pickup in your place without
giving you any stress. They will use the fund to
settle some customs problem and transport their self
down to your place with immediately effect. Let me
know if this is ok with you....So if its okay by you
and try to send me your full name,home adress, city,
state, country, zipcode, and phone number both home
and mobile
Thanks.
This came to me while chopping wood the other day. You've heard don't sweat the small stuff. I say save it for later and use it for kindling
