    Google said that yellow text was latin. Couldn't read the translation though.

    i dont see why these show up all the time. most of the time you can tell just from looking at the title. for a while, all the scams were like "AAFD Cheap Tacoma Blah Blah AAFD". idk why they had the letters there.

    its always a price below 4 grand. why not at least pic a price that is close to the real value but still a great deal? usually it doesnt list miles but sometimes it does, never above 90k.

    AND ITS ALWAYS ONE BIG PICTURE! is it too hard to copy and paste a description every time? its just wayy to easy to spot these fakes.


    i usually click on them though cause i always want to know if the people actually know the info on the vehicle. im looking to buy a tundra and people accurately identify if its 4wd, the v8, limited trim, call it an access cab, trd offroad, and the like. its a shame that people who know so much about these trucks are stuck scamming people

    That would be funny if that pic actually belonged to someone on TW.

    Exactly, there's always about 20 new ones a day, usually the same type of vehicles. I truly wonder what fucking retards would respond to this. Also, does anyone know just how this type of scam owrks? Do they just say....i'll ship it to you all I need is your bank account, etc.? Or what is the gimmick here? And i think they are nigerians, that honestly do not realize the price these cars go for, so these idiots put 3 or 4 grand because they just too goddam dumb to know any better.
    On a side note, a customer of mine fell for the "your millionaire unce died and left you all his money" scam a few years ago.

    my guess is they're looking for email addresses for spam mail. i doubt emailing one of them will actually get you a response

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Actually I have an e-mail account I use just to fuck with these clowns. It's called an advance fee scam. Normally when you contact them they will say "the transaction will be handled through Ebay.blah.........blah....blah". There was a guy one town over from me that got taken for $9k on one of these.

    I will contact the seller.....I mean scammer for fun.

    It does - my sister emailed a "person" about an 2006 F-150 King Ranch that was for sale at $6k. She got a response and thought it was weird how the person could use the military to ship the truck to her for free - and I couldn't do the same to ship her a jewelry box from Okinawa.

    I put my buddy's 2010 taco for sale for $4950 in kijiji with both his phone numbers.

    "moving to South America next week, must sell FAST" Dozens of phone calls all day and night :)

    Actually he is member here, just never posted I think. Search for user name testiclops ...yup.... and there's probably a picture of his truck.

    edit - this truck: http://www.tacomaworld.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/60194/cat/500/ppuser/28112

    except is now has a sweet grill guard and hellas
