Word Up!

So I put some stuff up for sale on an online trading post… and along comes this dodgy guy to try and buy some stuff off me… most likely he is from Nigeria and is trying to screw me out of money…. I’ll see how long I can lead him along.

In the last letter I wrote back to him I started to use poor English to make him feel a little more at home…. also the last email he sent to me the subject line was “All business is done with trust….” (Yeah right).
