New Scam ?

[phwrd]

Saw this on craigslist and thought it might be the ultimate in a honest scam.

Describe a boat with pictures and them claim that

"PICTURES ARE JUST FOR REFERENCES "NOT ACTUAL BOAT OR MOTOR"

What do i have to do if i really want to really see the boat.

Yeah that is what the boat will look like after it gets restored

That,s the first time that i've ever heard of an honest scam, i never knew that such a thing ever existed.

Vlad - that was my first thought too.

To give the guy the benefit of the doubt, it is possible he doesn't have a digital camera and found some images online....been there done that before.
Doubtful anyone would make such a purchase sight unseen.

Re: New Scam ?

Never been completely sunk but may need a little work. Trailer is included and it may need the wheelbearings packed. (boat is on the trailer) THESE ARE ACTUAL PICTURES

Pic was taken during the flood of August 21st 2007..
