mrs.cos Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 no question its a scam. Read ALL of the scam information on thier website. That response is exactly what is described in their fraud alert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 It's a scam....cash and carry on Craigslist for me. I had a guy in Nevada come across one of my posts.....how? why? Sounded legit, but I'm like for a small item like locking lugs for a set of wheels, why would he ping me from across the country? The whole point behind CL is that you deal locally, hence why no posting in other cities. I would walk away if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig71188 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Scam, Scam, Scam - they must teach every one of these to use the term "advert" - also note they never mention what you're selling, it's always "your item". RUN AWAY!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
