Sadly, it was impossible to determine if the email came from Hawaii, but i was still tempted to say "Book em, Danno"

Excuse my complete ignorance here - why would someone send that email if they were genuinely not interested in buggies? I can only think it could be an 'opener' for some later 'grooming' and 'ripping off'.

I sometimes get a chuckle when I win some weird overseas competition I've never entered. Or an unknown relative dies (usually in South Africa) and leaves me millions. My response is always the same. Delete.:smilegrin:

I get stuff like this weekly. Many ways to back search them and find out if they are crooks or working on being a crook.
One thing I found was you just block the email from them and not reply back, if you do they know they might have a chance and then they pass your name to others and then the games begin.
But than again if I had time to waist, I would spam them:evil:
