Scam on craigslist.com for a gsx

Soo who's car is this?

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/car/137846697.html

i emailed him and got the typical "I'm currently in europe and it's too expensive to bring the car here" crap.

Hey, I'm not sure whos car it is, but the same scam was on San Francisco's Craigslist a while back. I emailed him and got the same response you did. It's offensive how dumb thinks people are.

I have a strange feeling i have read this same scam on this site before and it had the pic of the same car. I feel bad for the guy who owns this scam car. One of thies days a angry person is gonna find it.

I dont know who's car that is now, but those pictures where taken from the same house/driveway where I picked my new GSX from. Guys name was Kurt, in NY. But I didnt pay 3,300$ for my GSX, but those pics are off the ebay auction that he had. He sold the car. Where its at now, I dont know.

haha yea i emailed that guy too a few days ago, i have an idea to find out who they are, use Profile Snoop to find their IP address and look at their myspace, i was thinking e-mailing them saying "hey send me a message over myspace with your responce i check it more than email" as soon as they view your profile, Profilesnoop.com will give up their IP adress and any myspace tied with that IP adress

theres also a button up top to click to "flag the post" you put it as whatever you want and enough clicks will take it off the site.

i acutally had some asshole pull the same thing on my stepdad with a car he was selling on ebay - he jacked the ebay ad completely and threw it on CL for a way lower asking price.


needless to say, the idiot gave me his address and i went to go meet him to "buy" the car
