I've found that if they are a scammer it is quite likely that they are trying to scam on several city's craigslists at once.Douglas2https://www.blogger.com/profile/18142485990801143191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-41196392163644629662011-11-22T12:36:48.219-07:002011-11-22T12:36:48.219-07:00That suggests a Nigerian scammer.

Perhaps they said, "Army Air Force base" in England, and my friends did not catch that.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-3146913249967251232011-11-22T11:37:08.880-07:002011-11-22T11:37:08.880-07:00The other telltale is that as far as I can tell, t...The other telltale is that as far as I can tell, there <i>aren't any</i> Army bases anywhere in England, these days.<br /><br />You'd think a cheat would at least invent a more plausible lie.Sigivaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152366541957466049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-3892198154385676562011-11-22T09:23:10.790-07:002011-11-22T09:23:10.790-07:00The idea of Craigslist is to buy and sell common t...The idea of Craigslist is to buy and sell common things locally. EBay exists to buy and sell things with a niche market. The only cars worth buying or selling outside a particular local area are collectibles.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822111808210633716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-34860946625438072772011-11-22T08:22:04.564-07:002011-11-22T08:22:04.564-07:00A few years ago I found an Airstream Bambi on the ...A few years ago I found an Airstream Bambi on the Austin Craigslist for a price that was a fraction of what I expected. Within minutes of it's posting I had an email on the way saying I wanted it if it was as he described it. I got a nice email in reply telling all about it. The next exchange made it very clear the person answering the email knew little about the rig, but knew all about the purchase / exchange process. When they said it was actually in Pennsylvania and I'd need to send them the money before sending someone to inspect it I reported them to fraud. <br /><br />It was a clever scam, the pictures looked like the Hill Country here in central Texas and the initial reply was obviously well researched and written by someone other than the scammer.<br /><br />It's a jungle out there.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046702125957293481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-87670207310384955132011-11-21T23:16:31.135-07:002011-11-21T23:16:31.135-07:00There is a special place in hell for those that st...There is a special place in hell for those that steal the savings of older folks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
