Looks like someone hi jacked these ads from Ebay. A PA dealer on there has several pieces of equipment for sale. I've been watching and bidding on a few items and I recognized the big yellow truck in the background since its in a lot of the ads. On Ebay the 4710 has a buy it now of $18950 so if someone is trying to sell it for $4900 here its a scam.

I deleted these and some other suspicious ads. Any more?

I see these ads alot on CL, so I decided to reply to the ad just to see what type of scam they were running.

My reply from them that they wanted me to send the money to a third party escrow handler, (ya right) and they would ship immediately.

Don't get involved with these scams!!!!!!!!

Best to send a note to the moderators or post a message in the News/Feedback forum which the moderators check out frequently. Starting a new thread might not be picked up as quickly.

Sounds like some of the replies that I got when trying to sell a plow truck on an internet classified site.
As the man says, don't get involved. Scam all the way.

That's what I did in this thread. I used the alert icon to let the moderators know someone had found some suspicious looking adds. Looks like Muhammad quickly zapped them.

i get at least 2 emails every day from scammers wanting to buy my tractor, and you know they all type the same way like they are from a foriegn country. 1st thing i ask for before i give them anything is thier phone number, if i get no reply then its a scammer. watch out for a guy calling himself walter rilley, i mean can't these idiot come up with a more original name like john wayne or something. these guys are idiots and i'd love to get my big hands around thier throats just one time.
