Let's see:

- The ad appears to be posted on a free Spanish-based classified site
- Text includes typos that sound sort of Chinese
- Email addresses are hotmail addresses
- Address to order from is in London
- "Data of Ad" box has "Location: Philadelphia"
- The prices are too good to be true

Nope, looks legit to me.

But the way, today is your lucky day. I am a prince in Nigeria, and I need to transfer directly to your bank account the sum of 21.320 million dollars. If you'll only provide your bank account number to me, along with your social security digits, the transfer will be commenced!

That just plain smells bad, and has "run away" written all over it. Mikuteit pointed out the obvious clues.

Here's confirmation:
