Craigslist Fun

So I have been trying to sell my step dad's old car on Craigslist. I use it a lot and I am used to the scams on there, today I got one interested in the car. I decided to have a little fun with the person.

Hey. That all sounds great. Before I can do that though. I will need a $800 dollar deposit so I know you aren't trying to scam me. Would you be willing to send me cash?

I am sorry, I do not know what paypal is.

But, we could do it this way. When your guy comes to pick up the car. He can bring me the $800 cash deposit and also bring the $1200.00 cash for the car and motor.

If that doesn't work, I have a associate who is heading to Japan to work on the relief effort also. I spoke to him and he is willing to bring the car and motor with him. He is willing to do this for a extra $500.00 plus shipping cost.

I checked into shipping cost and it would be about $3000.00 to ship. So if you could please send me a cash payment of the $800.00 deposit, $1200.00 dollars for the car and motor, $500 for my associate to deliver the car and $3000.00 for the shipping charges

The total comes to $5500. If you could please send me the cash payment for this amount we can get this done as quickly as possible.

If cash does not work, the great thing about Japan and many other countries is that they have Western Union. Please let me know which you prefer.

  1. Thanks Anthony. I just got the generic, "Do you still have it?" from Laden.Curly@gmail in response to a CL post. I think I'll ignore it and all of the similar generic replies to my offer. If I wanted to play a bit, I could simply offer to send my SS#,credit card #, and code from the back of the card instead of paypal. I like your blog, and know you'll come up with some great posts.
