yea i know what you mean. hell even half the people selling shit these days are scammers.
I had one guy try to sell a buddy of mine a 2007 ford f250. The pics he had were of the truck at a dealership that he claimed were the pics he took when he bought it new. Problem was, another friend of mine had bought that truck 2 weeks earlier lol.
Not to mention that i had tried to pick up a 4 bolt main block for my build before i sent the block i have off to the shop. i had found one on CL for $300 that was supposedly in great shape. Got ahold of the guy, told him i would be over the next day around 7 to pick it up. Guy says ok, just call when your on the way. I called, said i was on the way just to show up to said guys house and wait for an hour and have no one show up. Guy called me back the next day and apologized and said i could come grab it that day.
Lets just say i showed up yet again an waited 20 minutes before leaving. Guy called me 2 hours later saying he was waiting at his house and wanted to know if i was going to come get it. I sent the guy a text (as he said this was ok in the AD), asking him to confirm the adress, but got no reply. How do i know this was a fucked up situation? The called and left me a message 2 days later and said a guy was already at his house to buy the block, but wanted to make sure i didnt want it first. The same ad was at the top of the list a week later...
