Of course it's a scam. Just scroll all the way down to the bottom of
the very page he so thoughtfully sent you (so dumb, these scammers)
from our own lute list website:
http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute/forsale.html#wanted,
"If someone seems to have difficulty writing the language of the
country they claim to come from."
These jerks all sound the same, and to a native or (equivalently
familiar English speaker) their use of language is always a dead
giveaway. I have never seen the word "advert" used in any of my legit
dealings with builders, sellers, or buyers anywhere in the Anglophonic
world. There must a school for online scammers where they learn to
write this style, as it never varies. And yet, enough people are still
being fooled to keep them in business- no category is immune; anything
being bought or sold, any transaction on the internet attracts them
like flies to horse poop.
Dear List,
Want to inform you about suspected scam. I received and email from
Brad Baker, offering a baroque guitar which looked too good to be
real, then I even called the guy but once I asked more detailes he
pretended he does not hear me.... Then I serched in google and got
this:
