I have been advertising a kayak on mountainbuzz for awhile, and i get this guy who claims he wants to buy it from me. So....I just wanted anyone who is advertising on Mountainbuzz to be aware of this fraud scam. This guy is located somewhere in the UK, and I have seen these types of scams before. Here is his email that he sent me in case he tries to contact anyone else(by the way he needs to use a spellchecker, or take a writing class or three). Just wanted everyone to know about this, it doesn't just happen on Mountainbuzz, but be aware of people like this. He probably doesn't even kayak and is a litte bizatch..... cookler
