$2800!!

I'm going to mess with her, too. I'll say I heard Jack bragging about the deal, and I'd like to offer her $5k for the truck. Yee haw!

I like how they added "trust" to the end of the email address. That makes them legit, right???

Dude, I have some beach-front property just outside Topeka, Kansas that I think you'd be interested in.

 

Sooo, are we all gonna scam the scammer on this?

 

Call it what you will.....but I am sure going to string her along for a bit.

 

dude if she give you her address to send money you should send her a dollar in pennies cover with a fresh steamer.

 

Did any notice that on that so called invoice there is no vehicle identification on it any where.

So after someone buys the said truck, it is never delivered because there was never any vehicle to begin with, and the buyer has nothing to prove they bought it.

 

I meant are we all gonna bombard her/him/it with requests to purchase & overload "seller" with interest in this nonvehicle flooding the BS artist with BS?

 

I think to many people screwing with her/him is going to screw it up. I think Neon needs to mess with her for awhile and maybe a couple of others just to encourage her. This is going to be fun to watch play out.

 

When I was buying my truck I saw so many scam ads on CL with the exact same format.

She's also selling a Jeep on Dallas Craigslist (also came out in the Edinburg/McAllen CL...same email. Someone should mess with her on the Jeep end.

oh yeah and maybe say it's Mike Hawk's sister...Mika Hunt.

 

Excellent work on the scam of a scam!



Unfortunately, they never catch these criminals. They did a Dateline - To Catch a Scammer and flew out to meet some of these criminals. As hard as NBC tried, they couldn't get the police to do anything. Once they revealed on hidden camera who they were, the criminal would just turn and walk away. At the end, they flashed a note that none of the scammers where caught or charged.

It is too difficult and expensive to track down these people. I'm sure they get away with it on a regular basis. Hell, i'm sure a few people saw that Ebay invoice and wouldn've gone through with it. I always know a scammer by the poor grammer.

I have sold a few dirt bikes on craigslist and can spot the scam from 'hello'.

 

I think it has to do with people being in such a frenzie to capitalize on the seemingly perfect deal. It lets excuses like

go without any red flags. Pretty much as longs as there is a steady stream of victims, the scammers will keep on scamming. If the victims stop falling, they will adapt and find new methods

 

can we see some progress on ms. harkin?

 

i wish i had some

 

hahah just read everything, shits classic! oh and its roarglass

 

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

cant even spell the dam town i live in, thats funny tacoskim! Good catch

 

yeah i was gonna BS her too as "Jack Mehoff"

but....i think neon has it under control........maybe when hes done

 

Yeah... I haven't sent her an email yet... I'll probably wait, too. I want to see how far Neon can take it. I agree that if we all do it at once she'll catch on. I really want to use my name, though: "Hugh G. Rection"
