Um...I'm Not That Dumb

I do hate scam artists. On the website that I put the harp up for sale, here is a warning they put up for sellers:

(Sellers Beware! Some people with harps for sale on this site have been contacted by internet scam artists... the story is usually something about selling the harp to a distant buyer, accepting an international money order or cashier's check, or delivering the harp to the buyer's "agent"... sometimes the seller is asked to accept a money order for more than the selling price and return the "change" along with the harp. The money order turns out to be bogus, and the harp and "change" are long gone! It's wise to ignore queries from unverifiable buyers.)

I had been contacted by a seller named Jimmy (funny how his name is Jim--remember that McDonald's story on my blog?) who asked me for more information on the harp, and I told him a little bit about it, but I also requested his contact information. This is what I got in return: (I have highlighted mistakes in red.)

Hi,
I really appreciate the information given towards making this transaction a successful one........i will like us to carry on with this deal with trust and understanding cos i'm presently out of the state.i will be returning back to the State very soon....Am okay with the least price ($4500) and the present condition and i'll like to have a good look at the pics,so kindly get back to me with any available pics as fast as you can.....I'll be offering you $4600 for it...I will really appreciate it if you can get back to me with your full details because i will asked my Business Associate who is presently in the State to issue out a payment check for the amount ($8000) which will be covering the shipping cost because the shipping firm will be picking it up along with some other goods that are to be shipped for me in the state.
Pls do not bother about any other buyer, i believe things will work
as plan. Concerning the pick up i've arrange that with my shipping
firm because they are picking it up along with other goods that are to be shipped for me in the state AND the shipping firm will contact u as well for a strong arrangement...... All you need to do is to get the check cashed at your bank immediately you do receive it, deduct the total cost and get the remaining fund send to the shipping firm same day via Western Union Money Transfer so that the shipping firm will be coming to your location for the pick up....pls kindly make all the document ready to enhance a smooth shipment.......Hope to hear from you ASAP. Best Regards and Stay blessed .
Jim
N.B Make sure you mail me back immediately you get this message in
other to proceed.

Needless to say, this made me nervous even without the warning on the website. So, sorry Jimmy. You're not going to get my harp today. Especially without any contact information at all.
