I have my old Ferrari Wheels on sale on craigslist so of course there are going to be scammers out there. I thought I'd post this one I got today.
I actually emailed once with this buyer a few days ago. I could tell he was a scammer immediately because he's an idiot.
First he said that he had to work and couldn't come see them. Which would imply that he lived nearby. Then he said he needed them shipped someone where.
Second, my price includes free shipping, but he insists on paying for it. What a nice guy!
If you look at the emails below, the names keep changing as do the address locations. I also never get an actual address to ship the wheels to.
