BEAWARE OF SCAMS IN THE CLASSIFIEDS

THIS IS A E-MAIL I RECEIVED ON A 4-WHEELER I HAVE FOR SALE!! BE CAREFUL!!!!! IT IS A SCAM!!!! Am located in Abbeville here in SC and right now my shipper are there in Ky they will be coming from there to pick up the bike . i wont be abale to take a look at the bike .. thats why i want you to email some pics to me if available .. well the prices and the condition of the Advert is okay by me.i have contact my shipper and they told me they would be coming for the pickup at you end as soon as the payment must have cleared in your bank.
This is how the payment would be made,a client of mine in the u.s who is owing me the total sum of $20000,i will instruct him to issue it out in your name,as soon as you have the check or money order,go straight to ur bank and have is cashed,then you deduct the cost of the item and have the balance send back to the shipper to enable them come for the pickup at your end If this is okay by you.


Get back to me with full details , so that i can forward it to my client
YOU R NAME IN FULL...............
CONTACT ADDRESS....

PHONE NUMBER........................

P ls do not bother about any other buyer, i believe things will work as plan. Concerning the pick up i've arrange that with my shipping firm because they are picking it up along with other goods that are to be shipped for me in the state. All you need to do is to get the check cashed immediately you do receive the payment check ,deduct the total cost and get the remaining fund send to the shipping firm same day so that they could leave for your location to arrange for the pick up.Await Your Quick response ASAP...
Sincerely
Lanty

SCAM!!!

I get emails like that EVERY DAY!! Each one has a different story, but they all have the same information request.
YOU R NAME IN FULL...............
CONTACT ADDRESS....
CITY.....
STATE......
COUNTRY..........
ZIP CODE.....................
PHONE NUMBER........................

Many times, the words will be mispelled and the whole thing sometimes doesn't make sence. They say you win UK lotteries, Microsoft is awarding you money, they have a business venture they want help with etc. etc. etc.
Accept cash in hand only, and don't even respond to those crooks. Also watch for counterfeit cash!!!

outboard for sale

The so called buyer says Hello,
Thanks so much for writing back but I'm sorry i won't be able to come see it anymore,am traveling tomorrow morning, I had plans to check it out, but that got changed. I still want it anyway,am getting it for my cousin as a surprise gift. If you could sell it to me when I get to my destination, I will mail you a certified check to cover the cost and also add funds to cover the shipping to where it will be needed.
I'll arrange for a shipper/mover to handle the pick up and delivery so it doesn't stress you. I really need this, quite important and urgent. I will be more than glad if it can be sold to me and i will have love to give you a call but am speech disable okay. Email me back with a name, address and your phone number for the check, write back soon. Thank you once again. I will be waiting to hear from you.
Regards

There Are MANY Scams on this Site.

WARNING TO EVERYONE! Scams are abundant on this site. Case in point - last year an attempted scam was tried on me regarding a party barge I was interested in. I 'went' with the guy (or woman) who was attempting to scam me all the way up to the details on where to 'PayPal' a percentage of the money. That is where I received some details on that person and I turned those details over to the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation, Louisiana Attorney General, and the FBI. Don't know if it made any difference whatsoever, but it made me feel better.
Recently, I've been 'dealing' with 'Charlynla' or 'charlynlautz@hotmail.com' who is scam selling an ATV. 'Charlynla' also claims to be 'David Taylor' at davidtaylor@live.com who also claims to be an engineer working for Chevron.
I also suspect that 'ashelysch' or 'ashelyschlotts@hotmail.com' is also a scammer and probably is the same one who claims to be 'David Taylor'
