The image below is a screenshot of a very obviously fraudulent ad on kijiji (kinda like Craigslist). Nobody would ever expect to get a Foose Camaro for seven grand. The same ad poster had a '69 Boss 429 on there this morning for $4500, but I didn't bother with that one. I think I'll have some fun with this one. I've already replied (using a throwaway email address), basically saying I'm interested in the car and wish to see it. I know he'll reply with "I'm overseas and the car is in a container" or something like that, but I'm thinking I'll play this guy along. I may even pull the "I'll send you payment for $14000, you send me back the difference" scam (obviously I wouldn't actually do it, but just to see if a scammer would fall for a scam). I will post all conversation here. I will be taking suggestions as to how to reply to him to keep things going as long as we can. Who's up for some fun? :D
And now, the ad:
And if it is a real Foose?
If is can I drive?
Oops, we have another. A '99 Mercedes for $7k. This time he included the VIN (wdblj65g6xf074452) which I googled. The car is for sale in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and on some auction site:
now what would happen if it was real, would you buy it? thats one sweet camaro, and your one sinister guy!
carfax has 16 things on the vin maybe thats why its cheap
I had 4 on mine
some are just sales records, but 16 on a newer car like that something seems odd
Carfax sent me $30 for proving 10 VIN's that they said were clean were cars that got turned into beer cans. Carfax sucks.
Carm, Play him!!
ive got the popcorn out....go git em'

i just got done playing a scammer in just the same way,, man i had this guy calling my house,, we talked and talked,, i complied with all his requests , filled out his forms from the bank so i could inherit 40% of 6 million from a dead "mike cassity" which the money was stuck in malaysia.
It was fun:D
scammer finally stopped emailing and calling.
The wife would prob ask you the same question she asked me,,,,
"you know where this and karma will get you?":evilgrin:
I say Fark carma,, and fark sammers to.,,go get me and fish it in until the flippin idiot has a nervous breakdown wondering in antition if your gonna fall for it or not. Get em acting like zoiburg on furturama when he gets nervous.
