My Response.....

Dear Stinky Fish Face,

Thanks for the email stating how you intend to rip me off. I appreciate the lack of information and praise the attempt to gain access to my personal information. You can keep your check as I would rather use the transmission as a door stop then afford you any opportunities to ruin other peoples day.

Best of luck with the scamming, and may the good lord strike you down with a swift and painfull lightning bolt.

Regards, NotFallingForYourBS

What a butt-head. I tell ya, you gotta watch your back with everything these days...

On a positive note, I've had great success selling to the local folks on Craig's List.
