Default Just thought it will be Entertaining

OK. I'm currently on market for C5Z and I was browsing Craigslist and found some unbelievable deal. C5Z06 2002 for 13999 so I respond and here is the result. I know my English is not the best but hey it's still my second language and I learn on my own, but that doesn’t mean I'm STUPID !!!! I know from beginning it was fake so I play little game. I hope after that he will stop wasting my time. f!@#$% Scamers !!!!

Note: Read From bottom.

Green is me and Red is him.


Well,

I told you I want to see that car in person so even if that car is in Florida I will still get together with fellow Corvette guys and make them to check that car for me because I will simply not send money for something suspicious like your car. Yes it is suspicious and let me tell you why..


A) You price is $6000 below average price.
B) You list your car in Fayetteville NC and now is in Florida which is completely in opposite way than Canada where is your new job
C) Your VIN number is not Corvette number it is for 2004 Infiniti G35



Hello and thank you for your interest.This is the vin number JNKCV54EX4M823646 and I will list it on ebay only if you are decide to buy it and you will see the vin on the page.Let me know

Show me listing on eBay motors first with VIN # and I will see...

Hello and thank you for your interest.I will explin quickly the process .The car is in Orlando , FL ready for shipping.If you decided to buy it I
will list it on ebay and you will buy it from there and after I will receive that you`v made the
payment I will start the shipping to your location.As soon as you will receive it at your door
you will have 10 days to inspect it before ebay will release the money to me.Please let me know


Thought after that we are done... but it's getting better :-)

Hi Jose,

Sending money over eBay is fine, I don’t care how you want to receive your money but I want to see this car in person. You list your car under Fayetteville NC which is 50 minutes from where I live so before I do anything I want to see your car in person first. If that’s not possible anymore than sorry and GL with your sale.

Roman


Hello Roman
The 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is still available for the price listed ($13999). No trades at this time!!!
My name is Jose Lopez and I thank you for the interest in my car. Before we go any further I must inform you of my present situation. Tomorrow I’ll be flying to Yellowknife, Canada, as I just got a great job at Nuna Logistics, the company in charge with the ice road to the diamond mines in north. That is also the reason for selling. The only way we can complete this deal is online. I already left the car within the custody of a shipping company which will handle the delivery. I can proof that as soon as I’ll get an online tracking number from them.
And as a safety way to do this, I suggest we use eBay. I will list my car on their website with a buy it now offer for you. You may then purchase it and take advantage of their vehicle purchase protection program which will assure you that you’ll get what you’ll pay for. Rest assure that my car is in perfect working condition with outstanding autocheck score.If you are really interested in it let me know and we will find a way to finish this asap.
Thanks for understanding.
Jose A Lopez

It just sad that people post stuff like that. What's even sadder is that someone will fall for it.

You should notify craigslist and suggest whatever authorities set up a sting on this person if even possible. They start nailing people like that, maybe it'll slow them down.
