Hi Jack;
You can forward any of these spam letters to:
spam@xxxxxxx
If it's an eBay thing, send it to:
spoof@xxxxxxxx plus the Gov. site above.
If you can. add the long headers. Look in your menu bar for "View" or
suchlike and scroll down to "Message" and click on "Long Headers". You
browser may have different names, but what you want is the list of the
path the email took coming to you. If you can't do that, just forward
it as you got it.
Don't know if it helps at all, but at least you sent it to the Gov.
lawyers.

I am selling my Motor Home locally on a web site. Below is the

Wish I knew how to turn him in.
Thanks for your email and update on the bottom price($3,000),it was
accepted by my client and he has directed us to issue payment to
you. I
would need your assurance that the property whose payment we would
start
processing,is in a good condition as the only view our client had of
the car
was on the internet and this purchase is hinged on his personal
judgement of
what the property's state and output would be like,in comparison to
models
of its category.
However,he made out a certified cashiers check of($7,000) before he
travelled for a conference,for a previous car and its shipment charges
etc,but it was unfortunately sold. The amount on the check he
deposited for
the car is bigger than what should be paid to you now, so the check is
now
meant for the total expenses which includes the purchase of your car
,its
pick up from its present location and the shipping charges/other
necessary
shipping arrangements.
However he has instructed us to bikery on with this transaction. So
when
payment gets to you, you're required to deduct the cost of your car
($3,000) and send the balance of($4,000) to my client shipping agent to
enable him offsett shipping charges/arrangements. Once the transaction
is
concluded, My client shipping agent will be coming for the pick up of
the
car from its present location, on an access to a prepaid shipper for
shipment,and also conclude other necessary shipping arrangements. So
you
dont have to bother yourself about the pick up and shipping
rrangements,
while title papers and other necessary documets will be sent by you
via
fedex courier . Please Confirm this and provide (1) NAME (2) CONTACT
ADDRESS
AND CONTACT PHONE NUMBER(s) for check payment to be delivered to you
via
regular mail immediately , please remove
the add of the car from the internet to avoid complications from other
buyers.
