Yep. Here’s my method of separating the wheat from the chaff:
In my experience in another field, I regularly keep tabs on a certain market on Craigslist. It takes mere seconds to determine if an ad in my category is real or fake, by skimming the printed descriptions, comparing composition and writing skills, photos presented, methods of contacting the seller, similarities to other known scam ads, and legitimate ads hijacked and modified with added text. “They” post dozens every week, and don’t care if they get flagged and deleted, they simply re-post again and again.

Don’t waste your time or efforts I called. The guy said it could be seen gave me the address then I told him I was local. He hung up on me. I drove over there. It is a dump and there is nothing there.

The website is impressive, looks totally professional, looks legitimate. Wonder if the website was lifted off the internet like the photos of the cars were. Can that be done?

With that website, he will probably get some people to send money to "hold the car for me".

In law enforcement there was a name for that type of scam and it was called JDLR. "Just Don't Look Right".
