well it might not be, but seeing as someone emails within 3 mins saying he wants the car right now is alil fishy. No other questions, just said he wants it if I still got it.

 

Then tell him first come WITH CASH, first served? Set up a meeting time and place and see if he shows?

 

It MIGHT just be a Right Place / Right Time kinda thing???

 

Or a scam :D

Here is the email I get today. Flawless

 

Its nice to read from you and your response to my mail is appreciated.

I love to buy, so i want you to consider the item sold, pls i will

appreciate if you could withdraw the advert from craigslist to avoid

disturbance as you will be receiving payment soon.i would ave love to

come over to your location but due to fact that i just got married

last weak and am plaining to head for my honeymoon somewhere in

Hawaii. so,I want you to know that i will be paying with a bank

certified check. I will need you to provide me with the following.

Information to facilitate the mailing of the check. 1. Your full name.

2. Your mailing address(residential address) 3.Your phone number.

***I will like you to know that you will not be responsible for moving

this item and my mover will contact you for the best schedule time for

the pickup and they will be coming over as soon as you have the

payment. Mail me back immediately.Thanks.

Total Scam. I do a ton of ebay and i get this shit every day. They will acctualy send you the check. You can even deposit it, but when the bank finally relizes the funds are no good they will take the money and charge you the bad check fee and you probably will overdraft. This happend to my buddy. It was only for like 200 bucks, but still the email was identical to this. I swear they having a fucking template for scammers..lol

 

Run away fast. just my .02

Tell him that you don't have an address because you don't have a home, and you need his address because you want to drop the car off for him. Then he will probably freak out and realize that his scam isn't gonna work, but if he's dumb enough to give you his address, from there its all gravy.

 

Or, just give him the address and phone number to your local police station, and maybe he'll be dumb enough to send a check there.

 

The possibilities are endless
