Yellow Freightliner in classifieds ?
Yellow Sport Chassis 2007 for $42,900 in the tow vehicle section. So you call the phone number and an automated voice tells you to contact via email. When you contact via email you are given a different phone number and a different name than in the ad. When you talk to that person he will offer to ship it anywhere for $250. When you tell him you'd like to see the truck and can be there within hours with the money you are told you need to do a wire transfer first for him to hold it or don't come to look as others are interested. Person claims to be in Islip NY. Truck is in Illinois I think. He won't send info via fax but will email a copy of title. Title not in his name.
So draw your own conclusion.
P.S. if there aren't enough red flags already he has a foreign accent.

The ad is gone. I might still check the vin number to see who the owner actually is. Should I try to delete this now that the ad is gone?
