Possible scammer

Here's the email I got:

"hello sales,
I got your advert about your ( CAR )and i'm interested so,i will like to know about it ,the runing condition ,has it ever been in accident? and the last price you are selling it,i'll like to hear from you soon.
regards,
JAMES."

Here's my first response:

"Runs great, No accidents, last price $8000.00 U.S"

After no response I relied again:

"What's up? Not interested in the 88 IRONIC anymore. Maybe because it's an 87 IROC?
Good Luck"

Isn't there a way to get rid of these people??

Here's the email address it came from
"contactjames501@yahoo.com"

Which of course can't be found on Yahoo directory.

Be careful.......
