[Roadsters] scams on Craigslist

[Paul]

  I got the same letter, almost word for word, when I listed my 510 on
Craigs list.  I replied and said cash would be better, but if they wanted to
send a check, that would be fine.  And I'd have the car ready to ship, ....
as soon as the check cleared, .... in 6 months or so!

  My wife works at a bank and they have customers falling for this and the
Nigerian lottery scams every week.  Greedy folks just can't see past the
dollar signs!

I put my Bob Sharp GT33 Special 280Z on Craigslist DC and here's part of a
response I got after sending pix out to someone...



I am okayB  with the price of this item and the condition of items and weB 
will like to make an outright purchase of this particular item immediately
because we are in need of it and we want to get as soon as possible, I
anticipate that a Money Order or Certified Check will be sent to you via
Express Mail or UPS or FedEx as the mode of payment...And concerning the
pickup, i will be responsible for that, i will have my mover to come for the
pick up at your resident upon your confirmation of receiving the payment and
i
want you to remove this item from the ad now. So i will send the payment
which
will include the pick up charges, in which you will make payable to the
mover
via Money Gramm/Western Union immediately after you have receive the payment
and you will be compensated with $10 extra for your running around to the
Money Gram/Western Union Outlet to avoid the delay. And I would have love to
come for the viewing but due to my work frame thatmight not be possible...So
pls i will like you to provide the following payment information below so
that
the payment can be issue out to your address as soon as possible.
Full nameB  ...........................................
Full home address (physical).............
City................................................


can you believe folks still fall for this crap? sheesh....
