If this is anyones boat on OSO or if you reconize it, it is being used in a scam similar to when the apparent owner wants you to pay through ebay motors except this time it's through Google checkout.

I saw this as a scam from a mile away '06 27 Lavey Craft for $17,200 yea right, but I had some time on my hands so decided to play a little to see how long I could communucate with them before they revealed their hand.
First email was though Boat Trader asking to verify the price, what eng, and more pix?

Responce: Yes the price $17200 is correct.I have attached you all the pictures that i have with the boat.Engine type is Single inboard/outboard and engine make is Mercury Primary

Me: Could you give me an address where the boat is located I would like to come and look at it tomorrow?
Responce: The vehicle is in Flagstaff,AZ.Where are you located?
Thanks

Me: I'm in Knoxville this week where the ad was placed from but I have a friend outside Phoenix that could look at for me, what's the address where it is? (Non of this is true by the way)
Responce:I have placed an ad in various locations between them knoxville as well.I am sorry but the vehicle is currently in the custody of Google Checkout and they will handle only with buyers in person not with third parties.

Should I keep going with this for fun? Or post her email on here and let everyone else join in?

Really I just wanted to let the real owner know that pics of their boat is being used in this way............

Yep called 1st when ad came out to see if they would even answer the phone # posted - inwhich I was waiting to hear the B.S but no answer. Bert and I said the samething. Has to be a scammer. This has been going on for years and years ago a couple of my boats were advertised the same way by someone out west.

Post the email and so everyone can tell them we are sending a check to whatever address claimed. Check is in the mail - just wait for them to show at that address and beat the chit out them. I hate losers who can not go out and get a real honest job.

I know how they want this to play out "send a deposit so we can hold the boat and we will wait for you to come out and look at it, if for some reason you don't like the boat we will refund your deposit". Right.

Here you go have fun!!
