i posted on craigslist to sell my pioneer 7900 headunit. but this definatley does not sound legit .. what u guys think

Hi,
I am in Texas. I intend to acquire your CAR DECK for my Wife.
she works for the World Health Organisation(W.H.O) in Africa,hers was stolen down over there so I want it as a surprise present for her.
I'll be paying you with stormpay postal money order and i'm willing to pay
$370 for it and it's shipping to her. Also ascertain the condition of the CAR DECK.
I'll be waiting to hear from you asap

 

scam... definitely.

 

Total scam right there...

 

just what i thought..thanks guys

 

You had to ask...

It starts out with "I intend to acquire".....

 

$370 for the car deck?
How much were you selling it for?

I got a similar post when I was trying to sell my GameCube on CL for $100. The dude offered me $360 for it and the shipping.

 

If you believe that I had a great deal on some land...

 

I had the same thing when I listed my car.
I replied asking for higher and higher price with disclosure of major body damage and he/she agreed to buy, sight unseen. Gee, let's see now, if it's too good to be true...

 

I think you should reply stating that the unit is actually listed wrong. It's actually a Walmart brand radio and see what happens. It's quite entertaining.

 

Simple: just reply back saying to send you the money order, just to waste his time, and you don't have to send him your deck.
