Scam. Found one like that a few months ago concerning a John Deere 4300 tractor with 200 hrs. Had front end loader, back-hoe and every conceivable attachment thrown in on the mix. $4500.00 (should have been closer to $30,000) and that included shipping and handling(?), full refund if not satisfied, yada, yada, yada, paypal, yada, yada, yada. All the way over in Oregon. I contacted them. They said they were 2 women that had it on a horse ranch and downsizing the ranch or something like that. I asked for their address cause I already had the trailer hooked to the truck and $4500.00 cash in my pocket and would be there in 2 1/2 days! Never heard from them again.

 

Don't do it. It stinks

 

Everything was good till this part. Now it's very easy to tell it's a scam.

"$7900 includes shipping and handleing"- normal people don't talk this way. Shipping a vehicle is expensive and a lot of work.

"Bangor, Maine and from here the truck will be shipped"- Why ship it in the move, then ship it from there.

"We will use eBay protection program for our safety and for payment I prefer to use an eBay safety Bank account."- E-bay doesn't have a protection program or bank account.

"If you don't like the truck and want to return it, I will arrange to ship it back (on my costs)"- No one does that, too much risk and costs a lot to ship back.


"I just need your full name and address so I can open a case."- Noone talks like that again and egar to get everything rolling


"You must know that eBay will contact you without any obligatiaon to buy it or fees."- No they won't. e-bay is just a website, they don't get involved in fees other than for the seller.

scam scam scam scam

 

 

i found a jeep for like 5g it was all done up nice , the ad was in ohio but in the photos there were cactus's

 

total scam, had one on a rhino 20 miles away, when I wanted to see it, they said it would have to be shipped.

 

 

Yeah I pretty much knew it was a scam because there was absolutely no info regarding the questions I asked her in the original email...

 

This is a common Craig's list scam. You'd think by now they would have given up as people are wise to being scamed but the criminal mind never rests.

 

Sounds fishy to me too, Had that happen to me on a English bulldog one time ended up loosin money on a plane ticket for the dog and 3hrs travel time one way to the airport well learned my lesson on that crap for sure But then again sometimes they are legit we bought a old wood cook stove on craigslist said $300 for it was 2 hrs away called the guy he told us where he was drove down there and saw the stove it was about a $1200 stove bought it right on the spot now sittin pretty in my kitchen refinished had someone who deals with them and is now worth about the $1350 range
but sometimes it is too good to be true ya just never know theese days
