I received this response to two of my ads (which have been dormant for quite a few weeks.) Both responses in the same day, one for my Miraphone 4 Valve Rotary Flugelhorn, and another for my Larson Piccolo trumpet.
I have not responded to either. How should I proceed?

Or read the two threads in the horns forum about this “buyer”.
My post is for others who wander over here, not the OP who appears to be on hiatus. |

A hallmark of a scamming purchase offer is that it fails to describe the item specifically. These emails are often generated by "bots" and include bad spelling and grammar.
Just hit DELETE. _________________ veery715

I received two of these yesterday, from the same "buyer". Seems best to steer clear. _________________ Cathy

This is a classic scam. This happens on Craigslist all the time. |

To be honest, I've been looking at your Larson piccolo for quite some time...but I also "needcash", so I kind of sympathize with the scammer in a weird way. |
