Default Be Aware; Possible Scam

Anyone who has a white Z28 with front license plate number Y11 TPY..

Was browsing phoenix's craigslist and came across the listing:

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/car/708465826.html

Emailed the guy just to see if he was for real, and I get pictures of a completely different car. Clear corners, stock wheels, and stock exhaust. However, check the pics in the add

I asked him if it was still for sale, as it was in phoenix where i'm located, and he said "i had to move to montana for my wife's job. The $3500 includes shipping! Blah blah blah"

Nice try, jackass

I wouldn't blame the owner of the tag.
There was a guy on here from chicago for some reason looking for a car that had to be from florida. I had what he was looking for, but he also wanted the VIN and a bunch of other stuff. I sent him pics, not the VIN, nothing specific to me. He never got back to me.

He might have wanted a FL car because you don't use salt on the roads for snow, which can corrode metal easily.

ide actually let them send you a check however dont cash it or deposit it. get the biggest box you can find. fill it with garbage rocks,any **** magazines you got and send them that. and only that. they pay for shipping and get a boxload of garbage. however arrange it to where they have to prepay the shipping!

Yeah, the first person that alerted me that someone was using my Craigslist ad as a scam said it was listed in Austin's CL. Then I got another message from an eBayer that it was listed on Atlanta's CL. It pisses me off so bad. I think it makes me look bad. There are probably people that were interested in buying my car (either of CL or eBay), but are now afraid that I am the F-ing scammer!!!

Sorry, no payments. I want to pay some debt down, then start looking for a Z06.

Thanks for the offer, though.
