You gotta admit man, you subject yourself to the ruthlessness of this group with that name. It's all in good fun though so don't take it personally. Unless you think you are %)

Seriously? How many more people need to tell you that this is a scam?

Go ahead and send the guy your money and see what happens. Might as well send him your SSN and credit card info too. %)

Must of us are not ruthless. Just a few ruthless characters whom I won't name like Johnny and Bax are on here that give the rest of us a bad name.

If you're buying ANYTHING long distance, try and leverage the resources available to you: the CB forum. There are members here from across the country and odds are someone is close by and willing to help out. A few years ago a member was inquiring about a Bronco located in Pueblo, CO. Plenty of people offered up services to personally view the truck, snap pics, and give an assessment of the purchase to the perspective buyer.

I had my eye on a 78 F250 crew cab 4x4 last year. A deal too good to pass up. The guy was in Idaho and I was in Iraq. Not exactly an ideal situation. Long story short, I passed on the purchase. Not because it was a suspected scam but because I didn't have a warm fuzzy that what I was about to buy sight unseen was what I suspected.

Had a fellow CB member been able to view/inspect the truck for me, the story would have likely ended differently.

And if a seller isn't willing to accomodate you by allowing a "buyer's agent" to lend you a hand, tell them to pound sand. There's always another deal around the corner.

what is it with gmail? (this guy has a gmail address)
there is a guy on GL posting his very clean red & white 70 for only 2600.
i can not see it since it is sitting in a storage container in montana, waiting to be shipped through the ebay protection plan, although the deal is not on ebay. Although he is in montana with the bronco he his advertising on the east coast. oh yea shipping it to va is included.

the best part his name is albert bostner and the only albert bostner i could find is a 93 year man in ca. that appears to have past.

after i asked for more info on where it is so i can have someone look at it he stop contacting me. i could be wrong but maybe not

thoughts?

Really? You need thoughts on this?? I'm getting the distinct impression that the reason there are soooo many scams like this, is that evidently, they are very, very lucrative. I may have to rethink my career and "move" to Nigeria. So many people tempted by the 'something for nothing' carrot. It is simply amazing. What further amazes me, is that the scammers need not even vary their MO. Cut and paste their same emails for years on end. Each sending the exact scam.

So...to get started...I have a 1977 Explorer EB with 18k original miles. Blue with white top, auto, A/C, perfect original showroom condition. $2000 cash USD, delivered anywhere in the US. Emails to: ULose@gmail.com

Send wire transfers to:

Larry Mobamama Zimbuto
17 Zimbabwe way
Victoria Falls, Africa

Blue I need the zip code to send the cash
