Nigerian scammers are fun to play with
Ok before I post this, I have to advise you that this is acctualy quite hilarious.
Anyways, I was looking on Yahoo Auto's for a 1996-2006 Civic within pricerange and around my area. I hit search, and low and behold the funniest thing Iv ever seen. A 2006 Honda Civic for $4k! If that doesn't scream "SCAM!" then I dunno what will. I was bored at the time and couldn't find a 96 civic for $4k, so I decided to email this guy and see how fake this really was.
I don't have the original email that I sent the scammer because it was sent through the Yahoo Auto's, but I have the rest. Anyways, here they are hope you laughed as much as I did.

Hello there,
First of all I want to thank you for contact me and your interest in my car.My husband was recently promoted so we had to move in London, United Kingdom. We brought the car with us,but I can't drive it here because cars from here are with the steering wheel on right ,and this it have the steering wheel on left so for me this car is useless. So please try to understand my situation. I tried to sell it here, but registering it again costs a lot since it's the U.S. model.The car is bought from US and is made for US market.The price I want to obtain for it is $2,950.The car is like new, completely working,low miles, with 3 years EXTENDED, INTERNATIONAL and TRANSFERABLE warranty, which will be honored at any dealer in your country. It is US model with US specs and passed the US test emissions. All the manuals and the original documentation are written in eight languages.The car will be delivered from London, United Kingdom and I will take care of all shipping and insurance charges. I've made some research and the best and fastest way I can ship with is using World Cargo Express insured and it takes between 3-5 days to arrive at your door.You won't have to pay for customs or any additional taxes when it will arrive in your country.I would like to use CorbisPay (www.corbispay.com) for this deal because it is a large purchase and I want a smooth transaction. Also you will have 5 days to see it, test it and inspect it, and if you will not keep it, they will refund you all your money.If you agree with these terms, please reply me and I will be more than glad to provide
you with further information how to purchase the car asap.Looking forward your email and your Final Decision about this car.Mail me asap if you are still very very interested in my car because now i have more buyers still interested in my car.Thank you!

Oh yea, Ive normally found the car sams are in europe. And the nigerian scams are more about bank accounts. There are acutualy a couple of websites started up in celebration of screwing around with the scammers

RE: Nigerian scammers are fun to play with
Someone told me that the best way to really drive them crazy is to like promise them and say you sent the money, ect. Also if they ARE infact nigerian say this:
I heard someone did that to one of them and the scammer went ballistic.
For your evil intentions carried out, a curse has been brought upon you and your family!
