Do you think this is another bogus ad? SWB 4x4 loaded

Looks like a $20K truck for under $6K! I would buy 10 of these, in this condition, for that price...so, I am not even going to call. This ad scares me! Anyone seeing this ad in other cities/areas?

[camjck89]

no idea in seattle maybe others will chime in wanted to say hey from a former lacy ,wa resident

[Zoomin]

Yeah, if it sounds too good to be true....

[BLAZERMAN]

I'm sure I saw that truck on Ebay recently

[05crewcab]

I have found that if a Craigslist poster posts in ALL CAPS they are full of sh*t...


not to mention, its a little odd that dorothyjwilliams@whatever.com is the reply email address. sounds like someone's granny... If it is legit, she is my kind of bluehaired chick!

[OldBlue70C20]

I say scam. More than likely this is the original post on ebay.

http://global.ebay.com/Chevrolet_Oth...467772553/item

On this link you can read the license plate, the ebay seller is out of Colorado (with a 100% rating by over 1000 ppl) and the plates appear to be from CO as well, also the ebay listing did not make the reserve and it was in the $16,000 range.

Also if you do a search on google for portions of the craigslist posting you can see where almost the same posting has been made in other craigslist cities.

I investigated a similar craigslisting where a guy from my home town bought a tractor via western union. Then after he sent the money and never got the tractor he found the same tractor listed in Canada about three months later, some exact wording, photos, and price. When he came in and reported that he had found it the second time I was able to find the listing in about 12 different craigslistings and 3 or 4 ebay listings.

Just my thoughts on it though.

wont hurt to call.... doesnt seem like a scam ad to me, most scams are a little more generic. this one talks about the cowl hood and stereo, which norm wouldnt happen with a scammer....but you never know

[pmpski_1]

Doesn't hurt to send an email. Just ask when\where you can see it first thing. The price is low enough to seem like a good deal without being so low that it raises a red flag right off the bat.

One fishy thing about it...The email is in the ad instead of through CL. When I've seen this it's usually a scam or it includes a phone number because people want to talk on the phone instead of via email.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

scam

[Sinisterspeed]

Unreal the amount of watchdogs on this site.... I love it! Lookin out for your fellow trucker!

[05crewcab]

Let's do the real seller of the truck a favor and flag the craig's ad as spam. It'll get pulled quick (from Seattle listings anyway)

[Rodk65]

A complete scam. I bid on that truck on ebay and it was going for much more then $5800.00. Buyers beware. Dorthyjwilliams@msn.com also has it advertised in North Jersey.

[LeatherMan69]

I had the same thing happen with a Big Dog chopper. Also with a John Deere tractor. They just put it one Clist for to good to be true scenario to get ppl to bite. POS's

[sharpie1972]

This is the reply I got today about the truck. It's a shame some people have to stoop this low instead of getting a job! Sharpie

First of all I would like to thank you for your interest in my truck.
I am forced to sell it at such low price due to a recent divorce that I went through and current harsh economy.
After the divorce I had to buy a new house and now I am struggling making the mortgage payments .
This truck is in excellent working condition, with no scratches, flaws or any kind of damages. The truck comes with a clear title in my name .
The VIN is CKE142b146608 and you can check it . The truck has 48522 miles.
From the beginning I want to let you know that for the payment I would only accept a secure pay method. I would prefer the payment to be done through eBay
because I am affiliated with eBay and I have a purchase protection account.
The final price that I want for this truck is $11900 and I will pay for the shipping costs.
If you are still interested in buying the truck I would need your full name and address so I can initiate the transaction through eBay.
I look forward to hearing from you.

He or she might as well had said, "...and while you're at it, send me your bank account number and password, as well as your social security number."
