Sounds like a SCAM!!!!!

I was bored as hell yesterday so I browsed my local craigslist listings (Washington DC) and I found this http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/cto/1773892905.html


The truck is nice but from the start I knew it was a scam. It's listed in DC but the picture looks like it was taken in Cali or Florida. also, the price is way too low, especially for everything they have done to it. I decided to contact them and they replied this today

I hate scammers. My gf almost lost $4,000 on scam just like this one. What should I do. Should I make them believe Im interested so they give me the "eBay representative's" name who I need to send the Western Union money too (it has to be a real person with a real ID) and then report them to the authorities or just leave it alone and do nothing?

 

send them an nasty email from your scambusters@gmail.com address.....

 

"private shippers" is always a dead give away...

 

I don't know what a scambuster email address is , I not really looking for a truck, I already got mine and I was just looking. I just hate scammers, instead of helping society they rip people off of their hard earned money. I want to report this people to the authorities but I know the Maldonado's aren't really the ones who sent it. It will be the person who I need to send money too via MoneyGram or Western Union.

 

My laptop still has the content saved. this is what it looked like.
