Folks, if any of you don't think this is a scam, please let me know.
However, it certainly seems that either it's a scam or the sender is a total
idiot. Scammers are actively watching the woodwind.org classifieds, per the
warning on the site

The body of the message, from abigail lipps <abigail_princess13@-----.com>,

Hello,
I saw your advert on the web and i am interested in your Leblanc Noblet
bass clarinet
I am ready to pay $1000
I am based in uk but on a bussiness trip to west africa and i will be
responsible for the shiping to my destination.
my mode of payment will be through money order,i will instruct my client in
the usa to make out a money order of $4000 to you. which has an excess of
$3000 , reason being that it is a refund payment, and the Customer issuing
the check has the policy not to issue more than one check to a refund
payment,which means that the check is going to carry the whole amount of
what i am buying and also the shipping .the excess of $3000 will be for the
shipping of the pet and my other goods in the usa.i want you to send the
balance which is meant for the shipping to my shipper who i will instruct to
contact you after i have received an e mail from you telling me you want to
sell to me.
If my offer is okay kindly reply by giving me your full name and address to
which payment will be made too and also photos so i can see what i really
want to get,my email address is abby_lipss13@-----.com
regards
