Re: craigslist scams lol
Its obviously a scam, craigslist is for buying things locally and with cash, anyone mentions shipping and payment with any other form than cash, its a scam. And 2200 for a 05 gsxr is insanely cheap even if its salvage, i'd think its a scam right off the bat, unless it had some major damage like a cracked frame.

it sounds about right....possibly middle aged women in a divorce....she is gonna try and suck him dry(ex. the bike) and how many middle aged women do you see on bikes....not many....she just wants the cash....as far as the GA listing...she might have listed it in every area in hopes of a quicker sale.
not saying that i would write the check based on that email....but i would try to fish more out of her. its a possibility either way

and seriously send my uncle in Nigeria 1000 dollars and he will send you 100000 back, it is an inheritance that he can't give anyone else and you have the same last name. It is your lucky day.

Re: craigslist scams lol
I think that there should be some kind of verification.
Even just a simple verified address kept by craigslist on file in the event of a scam. Like an address verification through credit card or something. I think that it would reduce at least a little of the scamming.

Re: craigslist scams lol
Thats a scam....plain and simple. I have one going on right now...I'm trying to get that fake check from nigeria so I can see what that ---- looks like. ****** listed a 1950's strat in original mint condition for 2200. If that is really the case....it should be more like 50k+ depending. I told him I'm rich and I'll pick up anywhere in the world....he told me his uncle died and it was at his estate in BC. I told him I'll be there in a few days....then he was like...it was sent to him in Russia now. Either way...I want that ***** fucken check! I'll see what happens.
