However it sucks I need to waste so much time replying to these clowns only to get a response back, “I’ll paypal you the price plus $200 for shipping, deal?” My apology for the thread jack, but the S7 is of no cause to worry.

They’re sharks. Especially if it’s a big ticket item. Once I responded to the initial one and started to mess with him I got them all the time. My junk mail gets one at least once a day now. I lost interest in messing with him though. He sent over a hokey looking forms asking for my bank account information, address, etc. I simply put “F&($ You Nigerian Scammer” at the top, scanned it, and emailed it to him. For some reason I have not heard a word since.
I would be paranoid to even mess with them…they are so crafty they might play with you and attach a virus etc to the e-mail…these dudes will morph there scam as people become aware of it…

If you do a quick search you’ll find some of them and they’re pretty good.
