    Exclamation CL FL400R Scam

    last few months i've been seeing this FL400R CL listing. it's being listed in various areas across the US. i found the listing in Mattoon IL. and my buddy was interested in it so i contacted the guy. he told me he was in the Navy in N.H. (i think it was NH, but can't remember exactly at the moment). he replies back saying it's not there in Mattoon, it was with him, but he can send it at no cost to my buddy...etc...etc... all the rest of the stuff they warn you about with scammers. now here's 2 examples of the listing i'm talking about. did find one listing for Chicago that had a differant 2nd pic, but still the exact same listing. i ask you DO NOT FLAG these so others can see what the listing looks like. this is the same one that was posted about here the other day and also a few times in the last few months.

    Well, Let the Trolling begin!

    I'm gonna string this guy along and see if I can get a meeting place out of him. I'm a "flight attendant", so I get real cheap plane tickets

    He replied to me. I'm gonna try to get him to accept a Cashiers Check for payment. Little does he know I have another guy trying to buy something from me using the "ill send you a cashiers check, then you wire my "shipper" the extra so he can ship the item" scam.

    So the plan is to get the buyer/scammer to send a cashiers check to the FL400 scammer as payment

    It would be awesome to see him get and try to cash a "fake" cashiers check, only to find out he's been had while he's smiling thinking he has the upper hand.....
    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

    He would be able to cash the check. no problem. 10 days later, the check would bounce, then he would be liable for the amount he cashed. bahahaha

    The FL400 scammer's reply.

    There isnt much story on the guy sending the check. I just have to try to get the FL400 guy to accept a check and give me the info that the other scammer wants to put on the check.
    I don think the FL400 guy is gonna bite.

    I also dont see how he is using Ebay/Paypal to scam?

    Thanks for your reply.
    As i told you i am stuck here in this base and i have restrictions in communicating due to the medical and physical exams that i have to complete. If you are really interested in buying it I have to let you know that I want a fast deal.
    The transaction will close only through eBay so we both will be protected.
    I want eBay because as they are the biggest US company and I think that we can close this deal fast and safe for both of us. I don't have to much time and also I am not very familiar with the internet transactions and eBay is the only one I know. Please let me explain how this transaction works. In order to complete this deal the payment must be sent to eBay. As soon as they receive the payment will notify me to start with delivery. After that you will receive all information about delivery. eBay will hold your payment until you receive and inspect the quad (you have 3 days for inspection) If you will find the smallest problem with the quad you will ship it back on my expense and eBay will make you a full refund.
    If interested I need your contact info for eBay, full name and shipping address so we can proceed.
    Thanks
