Pity it's a scam, that's a beautiful cruiser.

Here's how you know it's a scam.:elkgrin:

...with all the documents( the title, owner's manual, 2 sets of keys, service records, and of course the bill of sale notarized and signed by me). ...

Just remember that stringing them along can often cause havoc for another they are scamming. For example they will often draft money orders or checks on the names of other legit business or person. They will use Fed-Ex accounts of legit companies to mail correspondence back and forth, etc. The #1 to combat spam and scams is ignore it.

Yeah...As fun as it would be, I don't want to bother wasting my time with this...

As for the scam ads placed, I notice they frequently want you to be very specific as to which vehicle you are interested in when inquiring because they have so many ads running on different vehicles. I wonder if they couldn't be spammed themselves, as in they get 10,000 emails clogging up their account. Let them try to sort that out.

Back in the day (1998?) my dad had a company that did targeted email (basically, the "newsletters" from Gap that you sign up for). The building and phone system they occupied used to be the west coast hub for NTT and they had some SERIOUS outbound data capability. Whenever they would get spammed, they would basically send out a massive email blast and shut down the spammer's servers.

That's what I'm talking about. Blast them and make them useless. If they can't get emails or can't sort thru them they are out of business on the net. This whole scamming thing has gone on long enough.

I would send them the address and phone number to the local police station and make sure they put the name of the shift Sgt as attn to . I have led many a internet scammer down the road and then when it came time to send them money , I tell them to call me and I list the local fraud division number as mine and it's funny I never hear from them again . Some fraud divisions even have an email account and some idiots will even reply to them .

I'm selling my son's car, who died in Iraq two months ago and I want to get rid of it asap because the sight of it makes me think of him often and often and the pain is too great. Put yourself in my shoes and you'll do the same (selling the car of your dead son, no offense) !!!
As you probably noticed, the final price that i want for this car is $3,090 if you will buy it today or tomorrow.

This is the kind of crap you read in scams. I would stay away.
