    I rather enjoy scammers on CL. I like to lead them on for as long as I can.
    I had a dude want to buy a motorcycle who was on deployment over seas. I copy and pasted his initial email into Google and it came back word for word a known scam.
    I had him on the hook for at least 30 emails for like 2 weeks before they gave up.
    Always use a throw away email and get a Google voice number.

    I just stuck to email.
    Before I knew it was a scam I thanked the guy for his service and explained I have 2 brothers in the military. I think 1 of them was on deployment in Afghanistan at the time and the other one had been deployed to Iraq multiple times and I wasnt comfortable selling him the bike site unseen. At the very least I wanted to send him a detailed video of the bike running etc.
    Then I found out it was a scam.
    After that it was delay delay delay. Like my dog, Dmitry (I don’t have one) was sick and I could really use the money. My wife (don’t have one of those either) needed to give the okay to sell it because she loves riding and wants to keep but we need the money because I got scammed out of a kidney and the dog is sick etc etc etc.

    Anyone enjoy a nice crawfish boil? I can’t wait til summer come around. It’ll be great if someone plan a Nor Cal Cajun 4x4 meet. Not it! But I’ll contribute
