IMO...if you want to spend the time...a way to (somewhat) deter CL scammers is to send them an original message asking some questions about the item...(the only way they can be successful is if they get some interest)...
Doing this gives you a return address and a domain/service provider that can be reported to the FBI Internet fraud division...
Normally if it's a scam and you ask if you can come and see the item...they will tell you that it has already been crated and ready for shipping...just send them $ via W.U. etc...etc...and await delivery...:laughing:

Really:licking:
By more is that more than one scam?
Is there a subscription cost or is that all inclusive?
I can't wait for my first lesson.
Checks in the mail and I await as an excited student.
In Dayton Ohio it is usually a nice car or motorcycle. You stop by some dead end street and get to meet some thugs close up. It makes it the same game only the bait gets changed. All that you have to do is watch the 7 am news. It works 3 or 4 nights a week. You will get a education.

I've always thought the biggest tip-off of these scams are the odd asking prices. What kind of private seller asks $6117 for something. They are the same way by me... like a 2013 polaris sportsman crew for like $2741.

It's probably a scam. I usually figure its a scam when I send an Email to the poster saying I want to schedule a time to come look at the item. When they reply, the item is usually 3 or 4 states away. They try to offer a payment gaurantee by having a third party company hold the money claiming they don't get the money until I receive the item and inspect it.
If the price is too good to be true it usually is.
