Golf cart on craiglist

[stacktester]

A few years back I was looking at a 4 wheeler on Ebay. It was a really good deal too good to be true. It belonged to a guy in the Navy who was in Spain and his sister had the 4 wheeler in Florida. He wanted me to Western Union the funds of course and he couldn't be reached on the phone because he wasn't allowed calls. Needless to say, I blew it off. I was looking at completed item 4 wheelers and walla, came across the same ad as his but a different name seller. Don't ask how they copy and paste the ads but it was identical. I also bid on a Honda 3000 generator once from a Jacksonville resident. Somehow or another there was a name on the ad and I looked up the person. Turns out they lived in South Dakota and had never owned a Honda 3000. Lot's of scams out there. I won't do anything Ebay unless I talk to the person by phone.

The key to not getting scammed on craigslist is don't look for something nice for a steal. Look for a fixer upper at a fair price.

I bought my camper oncraigslist.....went through no less than 3-4 dozen scams in my search...they all have the same story...they never even bother to change the details for the most part.This scam has been around for quite a few years now....Im really surprised that they are still trying to use it...its worn out, everyone knows about it...does anyone really STILL fall for it???? Damnit, if someones gonna try to scam me....they had at least better put some effort into it!! Stupid Slacker Scammers!

One thing I found while searching craigs list for a golf cart was that at least 4 of the scams I found had writing at the bottom that was too small to read and a different color then the rest of the lettering. I only found it after I highlighted the area with my cursor. After I found it I noticed that the words were a very light yellow. I don't know what language it was but it sure was freaky... Now I gotta got find one to show ya'll.
Has anyone else found that?

Ive seen that too....those are random quotes which help their ad get found when a search is done that has NOTHING to do with what they are selling(or pretending to sell).

Now that's just overly redundant wouldn't you say?

I bought my golf cart trailer and my golf cart on craiglist. I went to go look at both in person and paid cash for both in person. I got a fair deal on both and was very happy.

Of course, I would NEVER buy anything sight unseen.
