Craigslist is full of scammers.

I hate using that site.

It's cool sometimes for other stuff, but if your selling stuff then you get that scammer shit all day.

[240trooper]

so ok i get this email right now, why would someone pay 2,000 bux for shipping of my crappy hyundia? i dont get it, check this
Hello...
I will be waiting for your call, the check will be $2620 and you deduct your fund which is $550 and you send the remaining fund to the check via moneygram for the pick up. The destination for the car is 2525 West Loop South, Houston, Texas 77027 and they will sign the papers you shouldn't worry about that. What is important is the time for the pick up because they depend on time and the day for the pickedup. Email me as soon as possible am a very busy man and send your info for the check.
Best Regard.

plus if ur spending that much money on a car why wouldnt u just find one out there? and wouldnt he be thinking about me jacking him for the 2600 lol

[Bobafreak]

shut up its a scam already. throw it off a bridge!

[DreamN]

:rofl: you really are a retard :rofl:

He doesn't want your pos car. The scam isn't to get your car, it's for you to cash a fake check he sends you. You then send the "shipping" money to the "shipper." Then when the bank figures out what happened and sends the authorities your ass gets the full blame. Oh, but don't worry... you still get to keep your car :rolleyes:

[240trooper]
