Hi all , I advertised my surf in the loot and got this e mail this evening.

Yes this is deffo a scam - either ignore it or have some fun and "bait" them for a bit - agree to the purchase, haggle over price, give them false details and make them waste their time sending you the cheque or whatever that will bounce....
