[AMC-list] Fw: AMX CRAIGSLIST SCAM

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob below emailed me this craigslist scam as I tend to get a number of these heads up from AMCers who lucky for AMCers tend to keep a vigiliant watch. There is not one but two files on my site dedicated to trying to raise red flags, this is one:

which is mostly from the ebay scams, same old, same old, just different twist.

        That don't surprise me, that car was for sale on my own classifieds months ago for $3400. Chances are like most scams, the scammer simply saved the photos; you can see by tiny, or no, information that he/she don't even know what they are talking about! You can go to craigslist and flag that and report it as a scam also and they quickly shut it down.

        Hey! I didn't think the scammer would actually email me back! Great Falls Montana my ass, this car was for sale on my own AMC CLASSIFIEDS and was on east coast, also appeared on ebay. "I will take care of shipping" give me a mother f***ing break! Hey, maybe he has spare one of 219,380 extra super stock amxs laying around in Montana! Thanks to Rob for the heads up..below is the actual email the scammer sent me back today. I asked for engine size, more photos and details, of which scammer don't know what engine it is but mentions rebuilt in scam ad, duh!

  Hi,
  I am selling this car because my platoon has been sent back to Iraq and don't want it get old in my backyard. The price is low because I need to sell it before August 2. It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident..I do have the title , clear, under my name.
  It is still available for sale if interested,  The car is in Great Falls, MT, in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. Let me know if you are interested, email back.
  Regards!!!
