I just emailed "Andrew" the car dealer ad with the bike in it. I wonder if I'll get a reply this time lol!

 

Because they think that if it's under $5k, it won't be a felony, but felony classification varies by state. In MO, a class c felony can be for $500 theft.

 

Here's the real ad:

 

I would love to be able to find this piece of **** and pay him or her a visit. Scamming is bad enough, but to use cancer as a ploy is low. They obviously have never had a family member...............never mind.

 

..OK I'll save you the trouble..I already went through this...I bought a 2000 Fat-Boy for $4800.00 just like this. Same ad. What i got WAS in fact a 10 year old, overweight Mexican kid,(Fat-Boy)...now I don't know where to send him back, and I'm out a lot of Peso"s....stay away!!

 

funny!!!

The scammers do the same in reverse also. They will send you a cashier's check (fake) and send a courier to pick up your goods. The bank will find out after you gave away your merchandise and you are stuck with nothing.

 

I would GLADLY pay $30/mo "Internet Tax" if I knew the money went to a Gorilla Goon Squad that did nothing but track down scammers and virus propagators, and beat them to mush!

 

My buddy learned this same lesson the hard way. A$%hole sent him a cashiers check for $4500 for a $200 air conditioner unit, saying how he screwed up and just refund the difference after it "clears" via western union. He was telling me about it one day over lunch and I got sick to my stomach, serious. I told him thats a common CL scam but it was too late, he already wired the difference back and was out over $4k. Someone else tried that with me, I even let them send me the check but I saw them coming a mile away. Another time I was looking at a car and the same story.. "Its not in Jersey right now but in Arizona, the car will be shipped Free, etc" I replied back that I was going to be in Arizona that weekend and would like to see the car in person and would pay cash, never heard from him again.

Scams are out there... please exercise caution whenever spending your hard earned cash.
