Two of the best scam ads I have seen lately were 1. A 2004 C6 (

) that "has never been dropped or layed down" and 2. a 2005 R6 for $2200 that had "Non-smoker" in the ad title.

Come on people!!! I knew scammers were stupid but really?!?!

I usually respond back with something along the lines of - enjoy your pitiful, meaningless life spent trying to scam people from some shithole in nigeria.
You will die poverty stricken and alone; enjoy every minute of that.
