Scammers
I have advertised some props in the classifieds and so far have been contacted 100% of the time by scammers.Are others out there having similar experiences?

It happens and has been posted about before. If the person sends you a PM use the "Report Private Message" button and we will ban them.

Yes. Had one cashiers check sent to me from a scammer from Nigeria. 1st one was taken by federal agents. The same scammer sent me another one and it made it to my home. I ripped it up. I think I have a new scammer now. He is only texting me and when I asked him to call me, he said he was hearing impaired. I texted him and told him he will have to fly down to Houston, see the boat, meet me in person and do a wire transfer at my bank. I bet I never hear from him again.

The last "customer" I flat out told his email was more than suspicious. I asked him to tell me something about his boat that only a "real" owner would know. Never heard from him again.

Inquired about a 35 Sea Ray in Pompano Beach and got this
As I mentioned before, I recently divorced and now I'm here in Lincoln, Nebraska staying with my parents. The boat is already at the eBay warehouse here in Nebraska and the transaction will be done through them. eBay will handle the shipping, the payment and the paper exchange. The boat is already sealed and ready to be delivered to your place in 3-4 days. You will have free delivery and 7 days to test and inspect the boat before to receive any money. If the boat doesn't meet your expectation you can refuse it and I will ship it back on my own costs. If you want to move forward, please reply with your full name, shipping address( street, city, state, zip codes) and the best phone # where you can be reached. I will forward your details to eBay and they will contact you with all the info on how to purchase it.
Thank you!
