Craigslist Scams

[ovrszd]

These will stop when users immediately flag them as a scam. Rather than read them and wish it's true, flag them. When we all do that those predators will move on. No money. No stay.

You'd be surprised how many readers will fall for it and actually send money to the posters. That's why they continue to be there. "Too good to be true". Probably is.

Also noticed that they're listed at odd prices like $6216, not at rounded off numbers.

But my friend actually did buy a B7100 for $2000. c/w FEL !

Was a private deal and so far has put 1300 hours on it with only a few minor problems that would be considered normal wear and tear for the age.
On the other hand many would have turned up their noses at it due to lack of TLC.

Good deals can happen!
Keep looking, just be careful out there.

I see these obvious fraud postings several times a week. No need to even search to see if they are a scam. Price is way to low & the description is usually short with 1 photo.

Flag em as soon as you see em & do everybody a service.

A few weeks ago I saw an ad for a Kubota KH90 excavator for $5K. Knew it was too good to be true. Ad has since been flagged and removed. Different scam ads are on CL every day.

Don't think its a scam but just ran across this on CL : Allis Chalmers G 1949 Volkswagen VW Tractor

I called one of those cl ads that looked like a scam. Ended up buying a great tractor for 10k under the going price. Some of those ads are real.

Looks legit, it has a contact phone number. Searching that number found another ad for it: 2 Allis Chalmers G Garden Tractor s Organic farmer - PandaHi

Searching the title of the ad only showed local craigslist ads.
