The funny part is they didn\'t send it to the email address listed on the

I don\'t know how the scam works exactly. Usually they don\'t want the items.. They want money. One way of getting that is to pay with a larger check than the purchase and get the difference in cash somehow. Usually this is done in person with a check from some apparently reliable source. Buy $3,000 of stuff, use a $5,000 check and get $2,000 back.
I\'m curious about how they plan to pull this off. On the other hand, by acknowledging the email you are reinforcing that it is a valid email address and may get more from others. It might be best if you just ignore it completely.
Is there any reason why anyone in New Zealand would want to buy your bike racks? Where in the world are you?

queries you get per month.

Irrevocably.
By the time the credit card or check is detected as stolen they hope
to have your cash in hand. They may not care about the goods at all,
especially if they\'re holed up in a boiler room in Nigeria or Benin.

Why is the quality so low? That, in itself, acts as a filter. If they
get a response it\'s probably someone vulnerable. If you\'ve got free
time and confidence in your firewalls you can string them along for
amusement. Maybe confidence in physical security if you take it too
far.
Like that data scientist who was murdered in Chicago a couple weeks
ago, for a phone and laptop, pawned for $100, they dont give a s**t
about what it costs you, only the amount they can pocket.
