I just got this one today in response to an add on craigslist


Re: COMMERCIAL BABYLOCK EMP6 EMBROIDERY MACHINE


Thank you for your email. I still have it for sale but before i answer to any of your questions i have to let you know that i am in Canada right now visiting my parents ranch. That`s not a problem because i can still handle the transaction. When i left in Canada, i left the item along with several other items in the iSOLD It custody because i wanted to sell them on eBay when i return, but something came up back home and i decided to sell this one before i get back but not on ebay because i need to sell it faster. So if you are still interested let me know because i can make the transaction immediately. So if you are really serious and still interested, let me know and i will explain all the details of the transaction...

Thanks

Brian

Thanks for the Heads Up.

We've received the same emails about the purchase of some of our screenprinting equipment and emb machines we are trying to sell. We are a legitimate company that find deals on screen and emb equipment and we resale them to serious buyers only. We list on a number of different websites. The screen names may differ depending on which partner list but our business location is always the same. The scammers makes it a challenge for those of us who are really trying to sell quality products at reasonable prices. There should be some kind of way to filter out the "useless" and let remain those of us that "useful" to digitsmith. I wonder what could be done?

I have a machine listed for sale on CL too, since you can list for free, and I received a couple emails very similar to the "maria emails" listed here.

Just another one to look out for: I also receive emails every week from a foreigner wishing to purchase many thousands of t-shirts from me, and the matter is very urgent, and will I accept a wire transfer for them? Yeah right! I ignore them all

I wonder why they focus on the embroiderers and screen printers so much?

I have these same emails. The way you can tell if there real is the way they word things. Like: I would like to pay on time. And I am a serious buyer. Common sense, if they weren't a serious buyer then they would not be email you. From now on when I get emails like that I email back a BIG F U

I will not bore you with the deatails but ANYTIME they want to send you MORE than you ask for your product and want you to forward the remainder to someone else DO NOT do it! This happened to a neighbor and it is money laundering for drug dealers!

Hi
Our deal is already done. you are willing to buy this machine for 9900.00 this is the deal. if you want to buy this machine you must send official check exact amount of the price. We don't accept your client payment. that's is the deal between you and your client so your client must pay you. If you want to close the deal then hurry up because I can't hold the machine for you.
