Too good to be true?
Check out this link for this cart I found on Craigslist. This seems too good to be true to me.

Re: Too good to be true?
Not trying to ruin your day, but these types of offers have been all over Michigans craigslist lately. A tell tale sign is the big ad type pictures and big bright or bold wording in the add. There was a 2010 Kubota RTV900 diesel fully loaded for $2500 looked just like this add. I would contact the seller, go and look at the deal and take delivery and bill of sale at the same time. I wouldn't just send a cashier's check.

Re: Too good to be true?
I have a friend that was lucky he caught his money order before it was sent.
Same kind of deal. The cart was being shipped yada yada. He told me what he had done after the fact, and it was early on in my time here but I had read about the scams here. |

Re: Too good to be true?
The dialog is usually predictable. It belongs to a serviceman who at short notice was deployed overseas. He had to leave it with his uncle in xxxxxxx which is why it is not in the craigslist area it was advertised in. If you could send the money plus $xxx for shipping by Western Union I will ship it tomorrow.
In all cases go and collect it and when it is in your custody pay for it. It has been said a thousand times, If it is too good to be true .......... and yet these scammers just like the advanced fee fraud still pull it off. |

Re: Too good to be true?
Don't forget the ones that respond to your ads as well."I will send you a Cashiers-Cheque/Check for the amount you are asking,and also $xxx for shipping and your time".Then when you cash the check or money-order,its' no good,and if it went thru your bank,you get charged a fee.Yes,Cashier-Checks and Money-Orders,even Postal Money-Orders can bounce,I know people that have gotten ripped off.The other half of the check/money-order allows the purchaser to void it!Plus they get your e-mail address when you respond,even if its' just to say No-Thanks.Now they can hack you that way too!Unless you know that the seller is reputable,don't fall for it.Ebay has done alot to get rid of the scammers there,Most deals done there now are 100% legit,CraigsList is 30% scammers,40% Morons(buyers and sellers).There are some real winners on there,but also some good people with honest deals.I've had good luck,others haven't.If it smells like S***,Its' likely S***.
