I am selling the 22" rims that were on my 300C and I just got an email in true scammer fashion.I cant wait to mess with this guy hard core! I will be posting our conversations in this thread for all of your amusement, Leeeeeeet the fun begin!!!...hahahaha:headbang2:ROFL:
 
Happens all the time. I had several when I was selling my car.

Most of the time they will call what you are selling as 'Item'

Act half interested in what they want you to do but make it so they will continue to try to convince you to sell to them
 
Wow big surprise, like this never happens. :duh: Just make sure you give him as much personal info as you can in these conversations your going to have
 
12 hours later and nothing. this thread fails to deliver

Latest reply from"Jakes"...hahahaha

Hello ,

Thanks for the swift response, just to let you know that am okay
with the condition and price of the item, am ready for its purchase
and my form of payment will be by PayPal.

I would have really love to come for the viewing but due to my
work frame that might not be possible as am on work inspection to
Mexico at the moment and I do not have access to a phone,but if you
have more pictures, might want to have a good look.

I'll be responsible for the pick-up and the pick up money will be
included in your payment to avoid delay and to enable pick up company
to schedule an appropriate time for the pick-up at your location after
funds has been received as i have other properties to be moved along
side with yours.

All i will need is your PayPal email address to make the payment
and then I will make arrangement for pick up.I will be expecting your
email.
Thanks and hope to read back from you .

My reply to him, I am hoping to pull some 419 stuff on him!!...hahaha

Well Jakes I normally don't accept pay pal for payment from craigs list so if you can't come to pick up and pay for the item in person I am going to have to charge you an extra $5,550,00 bringing the total of your purchase to $7500 . I hope you understand.

I hope you read back to me soon too!!
 
oh i plan on it, I want to see if I can get a picture of him with a sigh that says something quite off color or if I can get him to send me 7500 via pay pal I will close out my account so he cant scam me and he will get a taste of his own business...hahahaha
