Well, I have been looking on Craiglists for a smaller honda car to go back and forth to work on when I get back home. Every car I sent email about was a scam except one, probably because it hasn't been verified yet. The classic I guess for now, is advertising a car in one place and it generally being ACROSS THE COUNTRY in a warehouse that is going to take care of everything it include shipping. Yea right. It goes on, and on with the lies and bs just be carefull people, if it sounds too good to be true. It probably is. AND NEVER buy something with western union or money gram . I HATE THESE PEOPLE.
rant over/

 

one wonders what the actual dupe rate is on scams.

and yes, scammers must DIAF.

 

HaHa
reminds me of what happened last year to my brother. He posted his older ice augar in cl and got an email saying that this guy wanted to buy it. I dont know how he got my brothers address but the check came in from cali in the amount of 8000,
we were like wft!
so my brother emailed him and said that for 8g's he would drive it down to cali for him, never got another email from him again.

 

Oh yeah... happens all the time and that scam has been going on for some time. Same with the one lakeshore mentioned.
There was a 954 down in MD the other week that my buddy was interested in. Hopefully the ad got pulled after I filed a report, but I'm sure there's another one in it's place.

 

Yeah man i know! I've been looking for an Eclipse GSX and there are several that are listed in every state almost! I contacted them when they first listed it and they said I just have to pay 2k cuz shipping is already paid for. How the hell could you know how much it'll cost to ship?!

 

Everytime I would get a scam email I asked them to send me the details and the check to the local PD address (obv said it was mine). Don't know if it ever worked - but made me laugh regardless of the thought.
