Am I Being Scammed?

Total ignore on that one, pegs the scam meter.

 

Talk to him directly. Ask him where he is "working off shore" as in drilling rig or is he a merc. Listen to his accent, does he sound Nigerian?

Lastly have him pay the the shipper via Pay pal and have the shipper bring cash. Spend 5 bucks on one of those little bill checker pens.

Yea sounds a little off center to me as well.

Oh you call him not him call you. He can s**** a number on the phone when he calls you but he cannot give you a s****ed number to call and get him.

 

You guy's are all wrong, I know this guy, his name is Ben......... Ben Dover.

 

Absolutely.When I listed my tudor on C/L, had emails asking "How many miles on it", when the pictures clearly showed it didn't have any gauges, and aslo stated that in the ad. Friggin' auto-bots and scammers

 

Scam, always cash in person for something like that.

 

sounds like a bad deal. in the times we live in im thinkin cash only.

 

To paraphrase the Vikings on the cl***ic Monty Python sketch...


Scam, Scam, Scam, Scam et al...

 

Yes!! Its a scam. I post on CL all the time & I also say NO emails if your interested call me. That in its self helps filter out the scammers. Ive found that if you let them email you about 80% of them are B.S. So dont waste your time with these crooks.If you leave your # & someone calls you know its real & 99% of the time there within driving distance.
Goodluck!

 

Great Motor...I had to re-read that guys repsonse a couple times because the wording was crazy...! SCAM!

 

Quack,quack,quack!!

 

Well thanks for the heads up on this s***bag.

he I just checked your engine out, I got this 5,000 dollar bank draft that I had originally took out to buy a motorized skate board, if I send you the check can you send me the difference back?

 

Scammer.....do not reply to him anymore.

 

All you have to do is request a cashiers check,or money order as way of payment.If they send one,you can have it checked at a bank for being legitimate,they will let you know.I have done this a couple times,most of the time you will never hear from them again but have had a couple that sent a money order and went thur alright.that is one thing nice about ebay,paypal protection.

 

Russ, CL is a pain in the ***.

I got dozens n' dozens of emails like that whenever I post on there...

"I'm a merchant seaman who is at sea...."

The way ta' get around that is ta' only use a cell number for contact, but then ya' get calls from outfits that want ta' sell your stuff for you for a fee....

 

Total scam ,

 

Gents...Its a scam. I get these all the time in CL ads. I even get text messages saying the same. I respond with " Cash Only" and I never hear from them on that ad.

 

That's 100% a Scam... Had the same exact thing sent to me on stuff I had listed.

I sent a reply asking Does this Scam ever work?

 

scam!

 

Looks like a most excellent mail to me that prides myself in the fact that it is indeed true.

 

Scam i get one a day so far on my motor also on craigs list

 

scam!! I would run away
