Hey Dudes, I couldn't help post this for entertainment purposes. I've seen plenty of Craigslist scammer ads but this one I thought was especially funny with all the mistakes that were made. Obviously this scammer is new to the game of trying to screw people out of their hard-earned money. Oh, and of course I sent him or her an email telling them exactly what I thought of them with my own flair of the English language.

Damn man, its got a Hemi in it!!

Cant beat new "breaks!"

Just wondering how the scam works? Even if half of the things on it are broken it's still good for $1500.

That doesn't look like all the CL scams I see. They usually use an email (usually gmail) and want to ship it to you and all you have to do is load an Ebay cash card and give then the #. Now if you call that # and they want to ship it to you, then it's a scam.

I just think the person is stupid. There's a lot of that too on CL.

Our engines are technically "hemi" engines as they have hemispherical heads.
It doesn't look like a limited though. Still, for 1500.00 may be not a bad deal.

3rd row seat!!!!!

The guy seems more illiterate than shady.

$1500, 136K, looks clean as hell, from the SF Bay Area so no rust or anything like that, probably never offroad...If 's the seller's as clueless as he seems that might be a good deal. I can swap out an 02 sensor and give it a 30K tuneup in an afternoon.

I might call em up.


EDIT: Weak. Flagged and pulled from CL. I guess I'll keep looking for a clean 3rd gen for my 16year old daughter.

How did the ad seem like a scam to you?

Wow, that is more like a dissertation than a FS ad. Nice truck, best of luck getting top $$$ for it!

Dammit @mtbtim . Its already been flagged. You ruined my day haha

Thanks for the promotion, JZiggy. That's a serious comment even though I'm also motivated by the opportunity to increase my post count so that, hopefully, someday ..., the censors will permit me to come out of the closet and exercise my 1st Amendment rights.

The founding fathers didn't guarantee a free printing press to everybody...spend some money, get your own website and start exercising that right before it goes all limp.

Craigslist is the Mos Eisley of the internet. "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious."

He does happen to have his own website.
