    Looking through Craigs list, I found what was an obvious scam. For fun I replied. They were advertising a ten grand car for 1510. There reply was that they had the car in Montana, and if I sent them the money through Ebay, they would ship the car.

    I said great, I do a lot of business through Ebay, send me the link and a vin number etc etc etc..they stopped replying.

    Sent a email to another one, same stuff, I told them that my Niece and her husband lived in Montana, and would be happy to hand deliver the funds. They replied with some crap about how their daughter was in the hospital and they would only deal through Ebay.

    These clowns did not even realize that the money transferring tool of Ebay is Paypal. I found where the picture of the car had been advertised in up state NY, where the ad had a vin. Pulled a carfax by vin and sent a email detailing the history of the vehicle, where it sold new, the last registered owner and their IP location and informed them that the local authorities had been contacted. All the local ads were removed. I still see these same clowns advertising else where and I now it did nothing, but it was kind of fun.

    I even got the scam where they want my Craigslist code (can't remember exactly)

    Apparently they need it to post their fake ads.

    Good grief, that is blatant. Might as well ask for your credit card number.

    Naw, our FBI is too busy tracking stories that would never make print in the National Enquirer. Why should we expect them to do their jobs?

    And then banned again.

    Oops, sorry, that happened in what you humans call "the future".

    You’d have to ban dviss too, to make it fair.

    I wasn't even referring to you, but I see barfo already knew what my response would have been.

    I’m well aware, as I haven’t been banned; so naturally, I couldn’t be banned a second time.
