Ya know, some people live to piss ya off, rip ya off, do what they may just to get under yer skin.
After holding on to my brother's 46" HDTV for a year past his death, we decided to put it up for sale. After all, we really don't need 2, what with our 51". So I place an ad in the paper and also one of the local TV stations has free classifieds. So I run an ad in both. I get a couple of calls from the paper and an email from the free TV classifieds:
Hello Seller,
I am Bob Thompson,interested in your
46" Hitachi HDTV 1080i
that was advertised on the internet. Please i would want to know if it's still availiable and if it is,Send me:

.Any other details you may wish to give me.

Bob
I'm thinkin, cool, sounds like an OK guy. So I reply:
HI Bob!
I don't have really any pictures of it except the one on KXLY.com under
Community, Free classifieds, Electronics. Attached is a pdf file of the
manual that has the specs and stuff.
The unit was purchased by my brother in the summer of 2004. He
developed cancer in 2005, so the TV only has about 1 year of use and
then it was put into storage in our family room. I say dollar for
dollar compared to the tv's out today, this one is really good. We have
the 51" Hitachi and wouldn't trade it for the world.
Give me a call if you want...475-**** is my cell. I'm home all day
today, Sunday.
Thanks, Rick
And he replies back:

Holy CRAP, I Been Phished!
So I replied back to him... well, can't really put what I said.... something about what - he thought I was some f***in idiot? I'm contacting MY AGENT here in the STATES, aka the FBI, the Attorney General.
Haven't heard back from the reputable a**hole yet.
Sheesh!
