bummer .... its a scam.
I have seen this on craigslist quite a bit. Notice the vocabulary is just a little off and they never actually specify what "item" they are talking about. Its just thanks for interest in your item.
And who uses the word "transport" to describe shipping?
if a response sounds a little funny just google it and look at all the scam reports out there.

Hello,
As i told you in the previous email the item is in excellent condition.
I will employee a shipping company to bring the item to your location. No extra costs. I will pay the transport.
This is their website: http://www.compass-ship.com
They work very simple , I give them the item and you pay them the money for the item. Then, they will bring the item to your location .You will be able to test and inspect the item. You can keep the item 3 or more days before deciding to buy it.
If you agree with the item , you will inform the company and the item is yours, if not you will be fully refunded ( they will give you the money back).
I will wait an answer as soon as possible.
I have already given them the item to be passed by their inspectors . You must contact them by email at support@compass-ship.com for the payment and shipping details and they will inform you everything you need to know.
I have done business before with them and they are 100% serious company.
Thank you very much for your interest!

I'm betting thats the exact response I get....Or maybe not because I said I wanted to do a cash deal...
I got the same type of response from someone who wanted to buy a Roland AX-1 that I had for sale. She said she was buying it for her boyfriend and the terms got weirder and weirder until I told her the deal was off.

Just got the same reply.....I always check into these adds and I'll tell you why.I tried to buy an item off CL about 6 months ago and knew it had to be some sort of scam because of the price,sure enough it was.So the next day I'm looking for the same item in other areas of the state and low and behold there is the same post with the same pics,price and wording.I reply to the add and say a few choice words. :grin:The next morning I get an email back from someone cussing me back saying he was just trying to sell his item and didnt understand why I would act the way I did.I wrote him back and referenced back to the origional add(scam) and called him a liar and a con-artist.He writes me back says he's 70 yrs old,had no use for the item that was why he was selling it cheap and gave me his phone number.I called him and come to find out someone else had used his add and after an apolagie on my part I ended up going and buying the item.Thats why I usually check to see if its a scam.If its to good to be true it USUALLY is but not always..:smile:
I got the same story but then with a car over here in The Netherlands!!!
Some company would come and bring the car so i could give it a testdrive, inspection etc.
Because he was out of the country, he did it this way.
When i asked for the numberplate to run a test on the car if the miles are ok, i got no reply....

fourking did you not listen to what I said?
This was on ebay recently and sold.
This is a scam.
100%
Read my previous message again and put it into memory, so you don't drive for nothing.
The guy responses are CLASSIC Nigerian scammer replies, meaning they are made so he can paste it and send it to many responses, in order to get a higher chance of someone following for it.

You need to learn what etiquette is and then get some. I don't understand your compelling need to jump into every post and try to slam solid members here. I'm sure Kenny knows this is a scam he's been around this game a while.

You noticed that too, Doug, hes cruisin for a bruisin.
Thanks doug yes i know it is a 100% scam but some of these guys on AZ,, i see them get beat from guys and they not go to right way to get a deal done some times using a broker like me or a few other good guys ,,maybe the better way to go to get a deal done for them ...i was making a joke of it but some guy to serious ,,,If you have inexperience buying and selling i have help many guys on here work deals and get them done ,,,I am always will to help out,,I usely stay out of BS post but i seen phila and i thought it was funny
