my car is posted on craigslist for 3600$ with my phone #, and i cant find the damn link!

im gunna rip him a new 1 as soon as i contact this dude.

if anyone finds something let me know!!

Why would anyone do that?

wow.. you sure its not just a friend playing an inappropriate joke?

yea cuz the price is the same as usual scams 3600$ all my friends say they didnt do it, i got an email from craigslist telling me about it, ill update when i get more information

$3600 ? You really should ask for more, I mean I had a mountain bike once that cost more than half that amount and granted it wasn't as fast but it got better mileage.

alright i'll buy it. does it have a warranty?

Question is, if it is a scammer, how did they get your phone number??

How did they get your picture? does the ad have your address as well? Of course the scammers are going to use photos of nice vehicles. I bet that they are in the military and are being shipped overseas in a week, and need to sell asap.

yea they were in the military and it needs to be sold and its being sold for 3600$ becaue thats the payment left on the car, total BS, i talked to craigslist and they told me im apart of a new type of scam where they try to temp someone like me into helping them.

so the actual scammer has seen my posts previously, and my car was on craigslist when i was thinking of selling it (not updated no angel eyes). I think the whole idea is stupid but supposedly this is becoming really popular. After talking with "buyers" i found his email and threatened to sue him and then the post was deleted 5 min later.

i received at least 60 calls for the car in a mere hour.

weird stuff weird stuff

interesting - what is the purpose of the scam? they try to temp someone like you into helping them??

they usually end up asking for half as a down payment then you pay the rest when you get the car, so they basically take half and run. your left wondering what hit you (if you were dumb enough to think someone would sell an X for 3600 that is..)

Scam is they temp a potential buyer to buy for a price that is too good to be true. They try to make it plausible by saying I have to leave the country right away, or some BS, thats why its so cheap.

Or in my case, I actually came across several of such scams when looking for my X. Except they said they were a member of a not-for-profit trying to raise charitable funds. Someone donated the X for such and such. Whenever, I asked to have it third-pary inspected they would say sorry it's already packed in a trailer ready for delivery. It's sealed already so it can't be inspected. Yeah .. right.

Usually you can spot the scam right away from the pics too ... especially if you've been looking for a while. They always "borrow" pics from another previous listings.

yea those guys are stupid, make the text more reasonable, honestly, that was really wierd.

they do the same if your selling something, the weedle some bank info from you and then you screw with your money that way.
