Scam warning John Deere 4310

[Gary Fowler]

Greed will play to a scammer every time. Folks think they are getting a deal because the seller either doesn't know the value or is on really hard times and will eagerly take advantage of them. The scammers rely on human weaknesses to make the scam work.

There is no such thing as a free lunch AND if it sounds too good to be true, IT IS. Even if you deal in person and see the product, if it is too cheap, then it is something major wrong with it or it is stolen. Buyer beware and never buy anything site unseen. Notify the local law enforcement if you suspect an item is stolen and let them run it to verify ownership and not a scam.

How much did they get you for?

Although I mostly agree that "if it sounds to good to be true, it is", there are times where it is false. Sometimes, you are just in the right place at the right time.

A deal can be tempting that's for sure, but being in the right place at the right time nowadays usually has to mean physically being in said right place with said deal directly in front of you. Da$@ scammers!

When I see those types of ads on Kijiji, some big ticket item, for a ridiculous price, I generally automatically report it to Kijiji, although occasionally I will play their game and email back and forth trying to get more info and then finally tell them that All the law enforcement agencies have been notified including Interpol. and I have sent their email address to them all..... Boredom is a terrible thing to waste... How can it hurt to play their silly little reindeer game back at them? But NEVER NEVER EVER disclose any personal info to them!!

Exactly! I do the same with telephone marketers. I make it a game to be as stupid as I can and keep them on the line as long as possible. If every citizen they called kept them on the line for 1/2 hour instead of hanging up, they'd only make 16 calls a day. And seeing how they probably have to make a 1000 calls to find that one sucker to make their industry profitable, their whole system would collapse and the world would be rid of tele-marketers! Genius!

I'm guilty of the occasional harass the telemarketer from time to time. :thumbsup:

The best thing I've done to a telemarketer is listen politely to their bs and when we get to the money part I give them my lawyers number. I tell them that before we can do any more business they have to leave a security deposit with my lawyer. The amount is double what they are asking for. Usually all I hear is a click and that's the end of the conversation.

Was that really necessary?
