Looks like you beat me to it Herb. Had a response this morning for an ad I placed. I promptly turned it down. I thought something was strange about it.


The following message has been sent to you in response to your Astromart
classified ad #225878 - 'JMI DSC's for Ultima 9.25 with Lymax computer'.
This email was sent by registered Astromart user john daniels
(pembrokeshire, United Kingdom) via Astromart's email ad response system.
Should you choose to reply to this email message, your response will be
sent directly to the recipient and will not pass through or be associated
with Astromart in any way. Astromart does not condone or tolerate spam
(i.e., unsolicited commercial email) and is taking steps to protect
members from this abuse.
---------------------------------------------------------

We are interested in buying your above mentioned product (JMI DSC's for
Ultima 9.25 with Lymax computer) at advertised rate fo $430.00. Goods to
be shipped to London. Cost and modalities of shipping to be born by us.

Payment for the purchase is by check through a debtor in US. The debtor
owes us higher than our purchase. He will therefore be sending you a
check for $5,000 to cover the cost of our order, as well as the Shipping
costs.

The balance you will send as we would instruct you to the Agency that

I got a response today from the same origin... have not responded to it.
Maybe we should have a way to warn people about scams and frauds on the classified area?
