Craigslist is a cesspool
 

So I respond to a posting for a 944 Turbo in Vancouver on Craigslist for $3500 (yes, that should be obvious it's a scam) and here is the response I get:

Hi,
I'm Nicoleta,let me know if you're still interested my car is 1988 Porsche 944,never been involved in a accident, no damage, no scratch, no rust and i can say that this car is in perfect condition and you will love this car if you will decide to move forward.The price is not negotiable $3500 firm,I sell at this price because I just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce has finished I own this car. Now as a women I don't need.
I've got photos of the car hosted on Internet at the following link: http://usera.ImageCave.com/Porsche944
Thanks.


If you go to that link (shortcuts are "broken") but look at the pictures in the link.

Then look what I just ran across on ebay:

Pictures of the same car in Ontario....

what a douche

I find that SELLING stuff on there is usually worse than BUYING...I'm pretty good at spotting scams and have so far been good (though I only buy on CL in person)...but when I used to list stuff to sell, the first handful of messages were all scammers

It is pretty ridiculous...especially selling, if you sell anything worth value, youll get ton of replies asking you to ship it to nigeria w/e...fucking pricks
