    CRT buyer? Real or hoax?

    Today I got this email:
    I ran across your ad for computer equipment. I noticed the area for CRT Monitors. I work with a company called Green Works Inc. they are accepting CRT Monitors not TV. If you have any loads they will except for free. They purchase them based on your volume. 200 pieces or more. There information is below.

    Buying CRTs? In large loads? Sounds too good to be true. But if it's SPAM, I don't understand what the catch is. When I posted stuff on CL before, I got automatic spam responses that were designed to collect email addresses. But those were clearly automatically generated. This email seems to be hand crafted. Too much work to collect one email address.

    I googled the phone number and name and got some hits like this one: Styrofoam America Inc. | 2601 Waterview Ave, Baltimore, MD 21230



    Responded to the email asking for details, still awaiting response.

    If it's a hoax, not a biggie: I don't have CRTs to sell and was not planning to start collecting them. But if does end up being legit, I thought that some of you might find the info useful.
