So, I listed a vehicle we have for sale on craigslist. Immediately, I am getting people from different countries who claim to be very interested...etc. One lady actually got my address so she can send a check, and said she'll make arrangements to have it picked up after the check clears. Okay...I'd NEVER buy a car that I had never seen, or drove, or started up. I'm just kinda playing along because there is a chance (a very small one) that she's not a scammer. I suppose someone out there in the world would buy a car without ever seeing it. It's just getting pretty annoying though. Ugh, scammers need to find a new hobby!

Yea unfortunately there are scammers everywhere you go. Especially over the internet these days. I know that some scammers make a decent income at just scamming people online. I've even tried to buy a motorcycle on craigslist and then when i call on it, they tell me they are over in IRAQ and using moneybookers or some BS company to sell it for them and that its in a warehouse to be viewed and this and that. I mean seriously what happened to the good ole days where you could talk face to face with a guy selling his vehicle and write a bill of sale right there and then and pay cash. Is that too hard these days for scammers, apparently.

Yah it's getting pretty ridiculous. I feel bad for all the people who lose money to these bottom feeders. Craigslist has gotten really bad with scammers.
