I know, lol-worthy is it not? I also tried to contact and warn the real owner after doing some reverse lookups but the phone number was unlisted. My wife also got the same e-mail from a different ad that went to the same address. I want this guy messed with, but can't do it myself. Anyone know how I can send his info to the guys over at
419eater?

EDIT: I'm a moron and missed the very obvious "register" button at the top of their page. I'll be posting there too.

Thanks for posting Malvorich,

If you can include an email address I can post it over there for you, other than that you could click on this Link then click on "register" or to make it a little easier still Click Here

There are a few places you could post but most commonly the surplus section, just remember that they will need an email address of the scammer

I will also point out that by posting the details here you have given a potential victim a chance of finding out it is a scam if they were to do a search on any of the details you have provided
