Is this a response to my ad, that looks like a scam? seems automated - Microman - 12-21-2006
Hello,
how is your day, I want to make an enquiry on this item if it is still there for sale, I came across while surfing through classified sites, trying to gather somethings for christmas.
Please let me know your best price, I would love to have it.
Thanks and expecting your reply.. ASAP
I mean, the price is there, and they dont mention the item.
THis is an item I just put up on Craigslist LA.
Will not respond.

Yes. Most definitely yes (for the exact reasons you stated).

If you respond the next level will be for them to begin some kind of overture about sending you a "deposit" in excess of the item value. You actually have nothing to lose by responding, as long as you never give them any personal info.
Huge industry-- these folks paid someone to write the english text you're reading.
