There have been some noticeable great deals on mixers here on Chicago's Craigslist this week. I was pretty sure they were the usual scam, and here's a response I got
to a posting for an LS9:
************************************************************************
"Hello,
My name is Laura Tenner
I wish to thank you for your interest for my item. This yamaha belonged to my son until 3
month ago when he went on a mission in Afghanistan with U.S. Army troops and 1 month ago I heard terrible news that my son was shot with cold blood by an Afghan and he died immediately. Now I want to sell as soon as possible this car to remove my thoughts from my son dead and from this tragic accident, this is the reson why
I choose to sell at a low price of $4000. The yamaha is in excellent working condition
The yamaha is already at a shipping company affiliated with Google Checkout, with all the
papers signed by me and also the payment will be done through Google Checkout services because I have a purchase protection account for $20.000.
I hope you understand my pain and situation to help me to sell this car soon and to have a normal life.
If you want to buy it please e-mail me your full name and address for shipping so I can initiate the
transaction and after that they will contact you with all necessary information about this transaction
(terms, buyer protection, payment instructions, invoice, etc.)
God Bless! and i want to thank you again, hope you understand my pain!"
***************************************************************
You all will note that apparently I was wrong, an LS9 is a car. Be careful out there.
Best regards,
John
