Sorry guys, this is the only place I thought everyone could see this post. I received this e-mail in my personal box. They are using my direct address and obviously found it on one of my ads posted in 5-6 different snowmobile sites. THIS IS A SCAM SO DO NOT FALL INTO THIS TRAP!! here are the e-mails I received. I thought the first looked fishy.

Dear Robert,thanks for your mail.Yes i will like to see some of the pictures pls.Meanwhile,my client who needs this 1trailer and the two snowmobiles is willing to pay me with a certified cashier's check issued on a U.S bank.Concerning the payment,i will like you to send me your full contact name and address(not a p.o box) including your telephone number so that i can forward it to my client who will then issue out the cashier's check in your name.But there is a favour i will like you to do for me,my client who is willing to buy this 1trailer and the two snowmobiles was owing me some amount of money in our last transaction which we did together and he has promised to pay me altogether with this and the amount in question is $4,580 so altogether it amounts to $14,180 will be written on the check.All i want you to do is to accept it,take it to a CASHING STORE and clear the funds thereby sending the remaining to me through WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER/MONEY GRAM so that i can be
able to pay my shipping agent here before they can then instruct one of their employees over there to pick it up.
Kindly be of help and i promise you a long lasting business relationship because i've got lot of clients who needs your kind of trailer and the two snowmobiles.
Thanks for your understanding.
I await your reply ASAP
Thanks
Johnny

Yesterday while reading my e-mail I found out that my Uncle Frank (nobody remembers that brother) died in a plane crash in Nigeria several years ago and he left $20,000,000 USD and I am the only relative! (Must have missed my parents, their brothers and sisters, my brothers, all the other children and so on).

They want me to get in touch so they can distribute my millions-40% to me 40% to the alleged lawyer and another 20% they said I could have too if I wanted it!!!! Can you believe it? I'll be snow testing my fleet of snowmobiles (1 of each please) and I will give honest reports here!!!!!

I also look out the curtains everytime a vehicle passes so I can flag down the Publisher's Clearing House Prize Patrol, because I know they are looking for me!!!!!! Right..........
