Background - Craigs list ad for

northern virginia * John Deere 4x4 Great Shape - $2500 (northern virginia)

So I wonder and write a 4x4 WHAT??

I get a response:

The 2007 John Deere 3203 4x4 is still for sale and my final price is $2,500.
Tractor comes equipped with a: #300 Front end loader, BB2060 Box Blade, RC
1060 Brush Chopper, RT 1160 Rotary Tiller, lawn/hay rake.
The tractor work without any problems and never has been damaged, tractor
will come with all papers and receipts that you need.

It was my father's but unfortunately he can't use it anymore as he died 3
month ago.
As you probably noticed, the price is rather low $2,500. Due to the fact
that I'm very busy with my work and I don't stay too much at home, The
tractor is located in Malta, MT in my garage. My brother is a DAS employee
and can deliver the tractor anywhere in the US. The shipping is already paid for.

Please let me know if you want to reserve the tractor for you.

Should I open the file that was attached?

Ah, scammers of the same name. Think I'll tell her to hold the tractor for me and I'll just walk over and drive it home It's only 2,000 miles.

I think what I like best about the response you got was the line ..."unfortunately he can't use it anymore as he died 3
month ago." lol. The writing and language usage overall was a lot better than most scammers use.

Tell her, as luck would have it, you have a relative nearby Malta MT who can take a look at the tractor for you. I bet you won't get a reply back.

Or maybe I should send her that special check I got for $10,000 and she sends me back the difference
