The thing about scams like this is that it's all about volume...... They make contacts with multiple thousands of people.....99% of the people realize its a scam.... But it only takes 1 person to believe it and the scam is a success.... There are enough dumb ... Naive people out there to have this stuff succeed... You just have the cast a wide net

Hey, back off guys, the crate should arrive at the house Monday. I will post up a full review. Now, I just have to remember where I put my crowbar to open that crate up.

Hello there,
Cathy you are one of the people interested in buying my car. I'm selling it because i recently got divorced and as a single woman i don't need it. Let me give you a few details about it: very good shape, no mechanical issues,no scratches nor dents, and it has never been involved in any kind of accidents. Has only 3500 miles, its Automatic, with an 8 Cyl engine, RWD, WRX Blue Pearl exterior and Black interior.The sale price is $11.500. I have a clear title, free of any liens or loans on it, under my name. If you are interested in buying it or if you have any questions, please reply to this email.

Sincerely,
Cathy

Was trying to buy a super moto DRZ400 in Daytona in nov. of last year, this gets good, The guy contasts me and said he's gone to work for the NWO, health division, or something like that, but he's now over seas, imagine that,

So, his father contacts me, says the bike is now in CA., but there still trying to sell it in FL., WHY, have no idea, so, they give me the same run down send money to be held, send the bike, I ride it for a week, then they get money, sure, great idea, they even had a shipping company made up on a web hosting site, great effort on their part, not getting MY money!!!
