Scams

[Dr. D]

Ok im selling my duck boat. Its on the green screen and craigslist. Now i got this email from this guy wanting my boat and was acting weird so red flag entered my head. Then the more i was trying to get him to do a face to face he proceeded to tell me he was off shore and i cant contact him and bla bla bla. I cant stand fricking scam artist. What happened to good people in this world. So i told him sorry no deal. Yall keep an eye out these low lifes that do not want to do honest work they are on the prowl!

I'm confused...how is he scamming you if he wants to buy something from you?

I knew a guy a few years back that bought a boat out of Florida off EBAY. Talked to the "owner" several times thru email and phone calls. Sent somthinglike 2000 dollar deposit to him for a 14000 boat. Took the rest of the money and drove to Florida...when he got there, never could find the guy or boat and never heard from him again. His son said it was a looong quiet ride back to Texas.

Ok, thanks for letting me know. Actually i cant really buy it now anyway… my nephew just put a BIG dent in my jeep so now i have to see how much money it will cost me to get it repaired. UGH!

I thank god that nobody got hurt but of course it just had to happen NOW, when i'm finally earning really good money from this work at home program i've been doing. You know, if you're interested, they just opened up 3 more positions in our area. Basically you make money by posting links on the internet, its really easy and I usually just do it while watching TV.

Here's the link if you wanna check it out:

I've earned about $500 every week since I started… not enough to quit my job yet but i actually have some extra money in my checking account. Well, probably not after i get the mechanic bill lol. My sister is planning on signing up later and these positions usually go fast, so Id really appreciate it if you didnt give the link to anyone else. Thanks!

This makes me laugh. At least they are genuinely concerned for your monetary well being. Maybe you should sign up.

Yeah, I feel bad now - I wasn't suppose to share the link with anyone.

Goes something like this. You are selling a car for 20k. I say I want to buy it and send you a "check" for 25k. You being a nice guy sends me an email saying I have overpaid. I say just send me back the 5k through western union and send the car. You being a nice guy go ahead and do it. Meanwhile the check I sent you was an international one and takes awhile for the bank to figure it. Then your out the car and the 5k.
