There is a special place in Hell for Craigslist scammers
 

Is that your boat or something?

That boat is in Monaco I restored it 3 years ago. This is what it looks like now.[ATTACH=CONFIG]560978[/ATTACH] Stay the blank away !!!!!!! TOTAL SCAM

No, not my boat. Sent them an email asking about it, got the BS story and then asking to do the deal thru PayPal, needing my account information...

Can you go look at it?

No, the real boat is Monaco per post #3.

I had my boat about three months and a friend asked " why are you selling your boat " I said WTF? He sent me the add of my boat for sale.They took the information from ebay where i found the boat for sale.

It was a rhetorical question. I want to know what the poster says when you say "Can I go look at it?"

What kind of bullchit excuse does he give?

The 1st tip off is the "Gmail" acct. Never a good sign. These morons are all over Craigslist. Any big ticket item is fodder for them. Cars. Campers, Trucks. You name it. They change their tactics about every 2-3 weeks. You just have to be smarter than them. Unfortunately Craigslist can't keep up with them. I have gotten maybe a dozen of them flagged. Does no good, they just come back with another method to try to scam you.

I agree total scum of the earth.....I remember seeing this ad on the east coast last year.....maybe even 2 years ago it's an old one. Common sense would tell you that $12k seems just a tad bit off what something like that should be selling for. I'm curious if they've actually made any money off of this ad? I'd think most people looking to buy something like that would see right through the bullsheet.

Yeah this one was pretty clear that it was not real at $12K. It is just annoying. I can't believe that they make any money doing this. Is it just a numbers game? Eventually someone is going to give them some personal information that they can take advantage of? You would think there is someway to track they guys down and make them disappear, as in worm food.

The problem if you email them and they send you a reply, you open it and it could be a worm. Now they have the ability to hack your email and send contacts other stuff to scam them. I only phone Craig ads. Private sales, only phone and local. As in I can see the item before buying. Don't use email to contact people you don't know!

Let's talk about that restore! ;) anymore pics? Looks very nicely re-done.

Well we know that the bottom was found to be free of Osmotic blisters and delamination. The decks are in excellent shape and there are no visible cracks on gimble's. Ha Ha.

Just kidding, the boat in Monaco looks beautiful.

Never really thought about that. I boat on the Delta around the Stockton Area. I was thinking I would email him and say I want to come look at it. I guess I won't.

It was for sale on Craig's list about 2-3 years ago,, same type of deal, you set up a special account that your check would be held in until the deal was made ,, was supposedly a female doctor selling it and had no time to use it . boats was in Colorado but they would bring it to CA for inspection after you set up the special account.
figured it was a scam and dropped it

Here's all the pics I could find on my computer.[ATTACH=CONFIG]561187[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]561188[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]561189[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]561190[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]561191[/ATTACH]
