[Mr. Lesbian]

Ever since I've listed my bike for sale online, everyday now I get about 10 e.mails from these fuckin' scammers trying to send me Cashier's Cheques.

Here's some examples so hopefully nobody falls for it:

Hello seler how are you doing, PLs could you tell me if the bike is still very much available for selas bcos i want to buy it for my son who is presently an under graduate in trinity college in dublin,Mind you the means of payment will be in form of us cashier's check and i will be shipping the bike to ireland for my son. Thank you i await your response asap. Including the asking price.

Now notice, every single one has bad grammar and spelling. Every single one wants to pay with a Cashier's Cheque. Every single one is either overseas or out of country when I had listed locally.

Pisses me off. I wish there was to counter scam these assholes. Any ideas?
