I have sold a lot on racing junk with no problems. I always ask for money order or bank check and wait for it to clear.

With no further contact from the party I can only assume he declined my offer to throw in a small child. :p

I am selling one of my cars on craigslist and got this today, (they seem to be getting better at it), I hate scammers!


Hello,

I got your response. Well, I have read through your ad and from what I have seen,it is priced favorably compared to others so I want you to consider it sold to me because I am ready to buy it for the asking price.I am Tech Sgt Elizabeth Lawrence currently on duty serving the country.

Presently I am out of town on duty in a remote area . We have a bad and fluctuating network here otherwise I would have called you and seal the deal on phone. At the moment, email and text messages works best for me.

Nevertheless,I am ready to seal the deal right away and pay you via my PayPal account that is attached to my bank account as it is the only secure form of payment that I have access to right now. So,kindly get back to me with your FULL
NAME,PAYPAL EMAIL ADDRESS,PHONE NUMBER so that I can initiate the payment immediately.If you don't have a paypal account, it is absolutely free to set one up, kindly visit www.paypal.com. A shipper will be hired that will come for the pick up upon the completion of the payment aspect of the transaction.Let me have the requested details to proceed with the payment if we have a deal. TY

Sincerely,

That looks totally legit Keith. What part of it bothers you? This is exactly how it is done and what I would expect be it buying or selling.

It sure is a wonderful world we live in today. I feel sorry for our children and grandchildren who will have to deal with this BS through their lives. I am 61 years young and remember doing deals with a handshake and sleeping good the night of the deal or sale. Today it is just a nightmare from beginning to end trying to figure out how the people you deal with are trying to screw you. That is why lawyers will rule the world.:(

Re: Scams
 
I agree. The hand shake means nothing today. How sad is that. Same with me Knocking on 60yrs door, and that's how I did it.
