Default SCAM ALERT - KITCHENER

Here is the link on Kijiji...

http://kitchener.kijiji.ca/c-cars-ve...QAdIdZ36429400

The whole listing just stinks.

I sent 2 messages asking for mor info, and a location to view, and here is the same responce recieved twice...

Hello,

First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my machine. This machine is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title, 3 months transferable warranty.
From the begining you have to know that for the payment I request ONLY secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services.
We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account for $20.000. The final price that I want for this machine is $7,800 CAD


P.S: Please let me know if you are interested to buy my machine. I will let you know my terms and conditions.

Thank you,
Michelle


Hope some poor smuck doesn't loose any money here.

I found the car I bought at a dealers on London's Kijiji a month later. Pulled the vin. # , description , Pics, the works from the dealer ad and pasted it into their own.
I received the same kind of response when I answered it.
Where do these @!&^%'s get the nerve and who falls for it ?

I see LCD and Plasma TV adds on kijiji that smell like a scam too. They are always very cheap (half the retail price).

Don' t tell me...the monetary transaction portion of the deal is handled through a Nigerian financial institution?

Cynically,
