Selling a few things on the Recycler.com and used my work email for the ad,well I get to work this morning and have 136 emails pertaining to the ads.All bogus responses from people in West africa trying to pull the usual scams.I wonder how many people actually get ripped off by these guys? I wish I could actually get that many responses from Legit buyers.

I have resorted to listing "conditions of sale" in any recycler ads. I put "CASH, AMERICAN CASH" only. "No off shore scams" in any ad I submit........MP

I'm getting the same responses to my adds. Who falls for that crap? I used to get those kinds of emails when I sold stuff on Ebay too. :frown:

I had the same BS, I just ignore all email responses. If somebody is interested they'll phone me instead.
