As some of you may have recently seen, I'm selling the pendant above. On Friday, I got a response to my Facebook Marketplace posting about it. I was a little suspicious about it because of the writing style and the tone, but I thought I'd give the person the benefit of the doubt. I was rewarded with the hilarious attempt at a scam which I've pasted below. adeokaines@yahoo.com, we salute you!

2)Can you make sure you get the Cashier Check cash at your bank in one business day and send the left fund the same day?
3)Do you agree to deduct your item fees and send back the left fund as my commission and shipping fees the day you get the payment?
4)Do you understand that the shipping company will come and pick the item at your address the next day you receive the payment?
