Scam Continues Part 2

Regarding the previous post about the scam email - I replied to his request, asked which piece he was interested in and he replied quickly.

Hello.,

Thanks for the message, Hope  you are doing  great. I actually observed my wife has been viewing your website (artwork) on my laptop and i guess she likes your artwork, Also I must tell you I am very much interested in the immediate purchase of that artwork to surprise my wife and my payment term is Check. Unfortunately, at the moment I am on training voyage with new hires, fresh from graduate school, I would have come to purchase the piece personally but won't be back for another couple of weeks, as I am a civil marine engineer and due to the nature of my work, visiting of website, phone calls are restricted during this period, but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding it:-). . I think i will go for Two Trees Posing.

If you'd like to know, I'm relocating to the Philippines soon and I'm also trying to gather some good stuff to furnish my new abode. I am buying yours (quickly before someone else grabs it) So, I'll arrange to send you payment ASAP.

However, you don't have to worry about shipment, I be appointing a secured shipping agent in Philippines whom are also moving my 1932 Ford ROADSTER and some personal effect to come over for the pickup of the painting at your place,and then deliver it to my new abode (Philippines); Courier service like FedEx, UPS are not worth it in the Philippines especially USPS all of them are not rendering good service there in the Philippines, they will never bring to ones house. I have had several bad experience with FedEx and UPS in the past and am not willing to pay additional fee at the delivery point in Philippines  because the appointed shipper will deliver safely without paying any other money before collecting the goods unlike some other courier where it will not be delivered to your address rather you will have to go to their office to pick it up and when you get there you will be told to pay other money before collecting it.

Thanks and God bless,

PS:In the meantime, you could forward me your full name (you want the check payable to) cell phone no. and contact address so I can FedEx a check to you. as I MIGHT be delayed depending on how things goes.

Just as I mentioned in the previous post, these scams often have to do with moving to a new home and while his first letter didn't say anything about that, this letter does thus proving that this is the scam letter I've received in the past.  Also, I forgot to mention, that these letters are always written in poor English although his initial email didn't sound too bad.  This one however, is full of errors.  I look forward to receiving my "check" which I will post.  Please see my March 10, 2008 post which shows the ersatz check I received from the scammers and for the details of our communications, please see the March 9, 2008 post.
