Ceptorman Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Same pic as the one being sold in Indy. Definitely a scammer. The one in Indy says $550, at least it seems legit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted March 27, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'm not worried about spam since they don't actually see your email when you contact them through Craigslist so I emailed the seller and received this response. Pretty typical spam response. Most of the time if it's too good to be true, it usually is....BUT sometimes, you might just score that ridiculous deal. To me, they are always worth checking. Most of what I've owned has been purchased that way. Dear Michael,I just sold out this to someone, but I can tell you where I got it from.I just picked up 2 of these from attractiveproduct.com and I resold them on here for some extra money.The trick is to watch for bidding to slow down and then put in a bid. That's what I do and I win all the time.RegardsJames DeanSent from my LG phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheric Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Even has the same description. Definitely a (Dallas) scammer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 The problem is they leave only the email address in the posting. Therefore, it doesn't go through the CL anonymous system, so they get your real email address. I haven't seen a huge increase in spam as a result yet.

Pretty sad because I tend to think I'm remotely intelligent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
