Here's a new twist -- if a clueless one -- on those scam e-mails from overseas.

After Marjorie Templeton of West L.A. advertised her garage sale in The Times, she received an e-mail that began:

"I am interested in immediate purchase of your GARAGE SALE item. After several consideration over the advert placed on the website, my client has really shown interest in it and would really want to issue the payment in form of Cashiers Check. . . ."
