Check out this scam I got in my email!!! How dumb do they think people are??

Hello ,
I really appreciate your response in regard to making this transaction a successful one.....i will like us to carry on with this deal with trust and understanding cos i'm in the England and would like to buy and ship it
over here... Am Okay with the price ($8500 ) present condition as well as the look on the picture... I'll offer you additional ($200) for it and that makes a total of of ($8700)..I would really appreciate it if you can get back to me with your full details so i could order my secretary to send out a payment check or money order for the amount of ($12,000) which will cover the shipping cost as well as the cost of the item because the shipping firm will be picking it up alongside with some other goods that are to be shipped for me in the state.
Get back to me with full details.
YOU R NAME IN FULL...............
CONTACT ADDRESS....
CITY.....
STATE......

ZIP CODE.....................
PHONE NUMBER........................
P ls do not bother about any other buyer, i believe things will work as plan. Concerning the pick up i've arrange that with my shipping firm because they are picking it up along with other goods that are to be shipped for me in the state. All you need to do is to get the check cashed immediately you do receive the
payment check ,deduct the total cost and get the remaining fund send to the shipping firm same day so that they could leave for your location to arrange for the pick up.Await Your
Quick response ASAP...

I tried replying to it. I couldn't reply back even though it asked me to. I was gonna tell him how uneducated and stupid he was due to the fact he can't even spell!!! HAHA...but I couldn't do it. I deleted it after.

Can you believe one of Nigeria's head honchos publicly stated the other day that he thinks that the people that fall victim to these scams ALSO should be sent to jail along with the scammers? Something tells me he's one of the folks sending out these e-mails, himself...

Yeah, but not if nobody heard from him again. The guys said he was nervous about the buyer getting him from his return address...but why would he put his real return address on the box??
