...or maybe more than one?

I have a number of items for sale in the classified ads that are getting replies that are obviously a 'scam'.  They have used IDENTICAL wording - but are from different people!!

The follow up emails offer to pay over-the-odds if they can pay in a specific manner.  I assume the next step would be for them to ask for my bank details, but I've nipped that in the bud by reporting the senders to the site administrators...

IN SUMMARY - watch out for people replying in an 'odd' manner - maybe the same email to each of a number of items, and possibly using phrases such as :  

Hiya, Found your advert so enticing.I'am very much interested would you please let me have some additional pics? Will also like to know your final price,And its avaibility.Kindly write me back on my personal e-mail

You have been warned!!!!
