Auction/eBay Scam
Craigslist (craiglist.com) |  +1 Craigslist Yamaha AR210 I saw this boat listed on Craigslist. It should have been listed for more than four times as much, emailed the poster back asking for more pictures and 1 day later recieved this reply:
My name is Kristin, and I\'m emailing you about the Yamaha AR210 I have for sale. The boat is in perfect condition, with no need for any additional repairs. Flawless condition, no dents and no mechanical problems. It has never been in salt water. It has 100 hours and it comes with trailer and all the extras included. It has a clear title with no loans or liens on it. The price was reduced at $3,700 as I need to sell the boat before the 31th of July when I will be leaving with my platoon back to Afghanistan, so I don\'t want it getting old in my backyard.

If you have any other questions, or need more info, please feel free to ask.
Thank you,
Kristin

I emailed about a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta TDI that was listed on CraigsList and got the following response:
Hello Scott,
My name is Kristin, and I'm emailing you about the Volkswagen Jetta I have for sale. The car is in perfect condition, with no need for any additional repairs. Flawless exterior/interior condition, no scratches and no dents. It has never been involved in an accident. The mileage is 142,467, automatic transmission, with an 1.9L I4 Cylinder engine size, blue exterior and gray interior. It has a clear title with no loans or liens on it. The price was reduced at $3,200 as I need to sell the car before the 4th of August when I will be leaving with my platoon back to Afghanistan, so I don't want it getting old in my backyard.

After looking her name up because the price seemed waaay too low, I found this wasn't her first time around trying to scam on Craigslist.
Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
Consider switching off your AdBlocker (if you use one) or contributing directly by one of the links below. Thank you for reading!
