Default the scammers are kicking into high gear

recently I've been getting several emails from scammers and questions from
sellers as to if these are legit or not...they are NOT....beware!
typical email scams like below usually have especially bad grammar and
spelling, but this isn't enough to identify the scammers, een they have
spell checkers and grammar checkers on their PC's
Warning beware of scams!
If you receive an email similar to this example it is a scam!
"Hello,I Am interested in buying your advertised ads for sale {JANTAR GFK
SAILPLANE} that been posted on the ad 2004 i am a seller that buy items and
resell so want to buy your JANTAR SAILPLANE. I will like to know the actual
price you want to offer it for sale and the present condition and the pics
of it.and mode of my payment will be a cheque drawn from an UK bank. Note
that the shipping will be handle by my shipper that will come to you house
for that pickup, if this is okay by you i want you to get back to me with
your full name, your full contact address and your full phone number. best
regards Smith."
or another example or typical scam emails :
Hello, My name is John Whittaker.
I saw your add on the website:www.wingsandwheels.com, but you just have to
tell me your last asking price, because My client is very interested in
buying it for a special project. Get back to me with your last asking price
as soon as possible. I am waiting for your reply.
Regards John Whittaker

Don't fall for these...they seem to be in high gear again..
