This is what I do to find out if it is a scam or not. If I see something thats just too unreal, and looks like a real good deal, I send them a guy with a middle finger. That's it! Nothing else, not a word, not even a letter. Just a FU guy! When the person/scammer sees it, they're gonna write back with only one of two similar replies:

a) "I'm still fighting in Iraq and my car is in Canada, if you send money into my account in China, I will have my shipping company in Europe ship the car from Peru to your house in England in 90 days."

b) "What the ----?"

If the reply you get is (a) or similar, the ******* are scammers!
If the reply you get is (b) or similar, the ******* are legitimate!

All I did was sent them a FU guy that gave them the middle finger... so how the hell did they know I was asking about that certain item? Not just any product, but that specific one. I guess I've been able to come to a conclusion that scammers makes thousands of account on Craigslist everyday, one email per one account, that is why they are able to give you so much informations on one product that answers tons of your questions and more within the first reply even when you send them a bogus email that makes no sense.
Try it!! If you get a reply of (b) or similar, then write back and apologize.

If that ---- was real that bitch could roll that bike to the end of her driveway, slap a for sale $2200 sign on it and have cash in 5 min. The only way to get rid of scammers on crags is block all connections from ------ ------- africa.

It's true, I emailed someone I suspected of being a scammer, and they kept sending the same response.
