Craigslist users looking for a 240sx, beware

[servili007]

Someone's been having a fun time spamming their "240sx for sale" all over craigslist. he's listed on an array of different CL provinces getting all his listings flagged as spam and removed.



truth is he doesnt answer emails etc, so more than being a spammer, it's likely he's just collecting emails to spam, and this is the reason I posted this, save your a** and dont email him, unless you want the risk of being spammed, this is one of those "too good to be true" deals, so I wouldn't bet that you'll be the lucky one he answers.

Questions? Comments? Concerns? yeah....I wish it was a real sale too

thanks for the heads up

Fail for not being able to tell it was a scam from the beginning.

$1900 for a mint Kouki ("absolutely flawless OMGZZ you have you see this car to believe it!) and the fact that that exact car description has been used sooooooo many times. It's not even funny, these people are idiots and rarely ever change the description from that template.

But yeah, Craigslist is full of scams. Kijiji as well but to a lesser extent. Anytime you see a nice car, especially in really good condition for a really cheap price and the description talks about how flawless it is, it is definitely a scam. If in any doubt, a quick email and reply will get your answer (beware of instant response automated emails and responses regarding eBay buyer protection LOL).

Some scammer was trying to sell my car on CL a while back for like 10 grand. Sent an email to the person, faking interest, then forwarded to the po-po.

haha i saw that add on the lv clnew it was a scam right away.funny thing is there is a guy posting adds asking to buy it

[240sxFTW]

ha yea scammers suck. I found a mkIV supra for 4500 bucks. 2jz too. It looked amazing so i e-mailed him my old e-mail just in case it was for real but never got an email back and that account just keeps gettin filled with junk....

Haha, some guy was trying to sell his car with pics of my car a while back. Not really a big deal i just thought it was funny cause that car was wrecked after the pics were taken and his car was a POS compared to it.

lol yeah, I don't doubt it. I don't plan on selling her anytime in the next 5 years, though. Still have many performance mods to go.

i saw that ad too

[airman86]

hah, i saw this on the atlanta craigslist earlier today. the only reason i didn't email the guy was because it's an automatic, which i don't want.

[mests13]

a few months back there was a red kouki i saw all over the PA, NJ, NY, and CT craigslist's that was unbelievably cheap and the description was very similar to this one. I bet that was a scam too.

Looks like he came on here and created "Is this a good deal" thread linking back to one of his CL listings ... we've since removed it

I see your car all over the internet. haha your so lucky.

I saw that ad here in SD. If someone is dumb enough to even believe it's real they deserve to be scammed.

[BlackRB]

Yes that is true. I ran over a few like that in Craigslist. Keep your guard up guys.

[dwclur]

People like that suck and they make it so easy to see that its a scam
