The scam works something like this"

Rube: "I saw your car listed and want it, I can send you a deposit to hold it for a few days till I can come get it"

Scammer: "I've had a lot of interest on the car, maybe I priced it too low, but I'm a man of my word, so the first person to send me a $100-$1,000 deposit via "XXXXXX" gets it.

Rube (multiple) send the deposit thinking they got the deal of the century, only to not every hear back from the scammer again. Most of these are outside of the country, so ever seeing their hard earned money ever again is the reality they face.

These scams have been going on for over 20 years, some on craigslist, some on facebook, some on Ebay, some on your local pages....


Sad, but true.
