Need Your Feedback Please!!!!
 
I have never experienced this before when I listed items on Craigslist but I wanted to get your feedback on this.
I posted an add for a 6" lift to an F250 and this was one of the replies I received from an interested party...

Craiglist is full of these scams. Just trying to make you aware so you don't fall for one of these cons. You knew it was one any way or you wouldn't of asked. If you want to sell your nordic ..............I could send a check from the bank of kenya and............

that is one of the more obvious scams, there are many on craigslist.

This section should be required reading http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams.

I see more seller scams than buyer scams.

Sick Stinger 03-24-2009 10:50 AM

Its a scam If some one wants somehtign from you on CL they will 1 be like " hey whats bottom line, or 2 ask conditon when you bought it or crap ;ike that. Literally a reply on CLl is not more then 1 line long when you have a paragraph scam

I prefer not to get in to a pissing contest with you - If I was sure about the reply I would have never made a post for "Feedback".

There are many ways to reply back that this was a SCAM but your so called tough love tactic doesn't set well with someone asking for feedback - again, thanks for your reply.

whtnordic 03-24-2009 10:54 AM

Thanks Sick Stinger & Wobble
 
I appreciate the feedback...

Joe Todesca 03-24-2009 11:04 AM

sending professional scammers any kind of reply gives them a confirmed e-mail address, which they may well sell to a list.

What year F250 is the 6 inch lift for? You could probably sell it in the swap shop section here on OSO

Your a funny guy - If I were you, I would just stick with your (2) 25 ft boats as anything over that would be to much for you to handle...

whtnordic 03-24-2009 12:27 PM

Fasttimes
 
It will fit on years 1999 to 2004 - The lift came off of a 2004 with only 20 miles - I just might post it in that section as well...

Thanks again you guys for the feedback - much appreciated..

whtnordic 03-24-2009 12:35 PM

Just posted it in the Swap Shop section with pics - let me know if someone is interested...

Thanks

Now a personal attack because you two clowns can't use craiglist correctly. Again, No the props are not me, just a good deal and since you(20' baja guy)seem so concerned why don't you investigate and let everyone know what's up. What's funny to me is having 323 posts and not a paying member? Some of the posts on here are getting so stupid(like yours) the next post probably will be "Where is the gas cap".

Your a complete ASS and to be perfectly honest, OSO would be better off not having a member like yourself - If we all had the answer to everything there wouldn't be anything to discuss. You obviously have nothing better to do with your time than to come on here and make comments to people you don't even know. I hope are paths do cross and you need some type of assistance - THEN i show you what type of an ASS you really are.....go day my friend, good day

I got a call about Bidding job for a lady who is deaf. The return Number was a 1-800-....... It through a flag up to me too .But once I called it, I got a lady who told me that her customer was deaf. I spent an hour and a half on the phone. She typed to her and read back to me the stuff she typed. She said I was the only contractor that stayed on the phone. 4 others Hung up half way through the call.

I just did not like the stolen insinuation from the baja guy. Because of that comment I will not list any deals on here I see, any more. It just brings negative comments. Maybe there should be a form on here teaching everyone to use craigslist. There seems to be a need for it. I guess my boat is too short for the west coat , I guess I need a 35' nodic to drive around on lakes.

According to Northern******* -this is was a stupid post and was obvious it was a scam - I'm sure it was - but I just wanted to get some feedback - let the ***** go back in to his hole...

These services are a scam (they did not used to be, but they are now). It cost our company a few grand last year on a deal. I don't remember exactly why, but run from it unless they bring cash.

Somebody is always trying to seperate folks from thier hard earned money.

You really have no idea who I am and I prefer not to waste my time with you explaining - As far as my comment about your (2) 25 ft boats - well, it just go to show you how I felt about your comment..

You must have been a bully in school - it's time to grow up.

Well, I was always taught that if something is too good to be true then it probably is. Are the O/B cleavers yours? I don't think they are, so how can you, not being the seller, take offense to me posing a simple question? It really doesn't make any sense to me.

And I have to be a paying member on here to post? I don't know when that forum rule came out but I will have to look into it as my posts seem to still be showing up for some reason.
