Scam or Legit??
OK, I have a 1996 Sub-Zero frig on craigslist.org for sale. They're very good/expensive refrigerators. Anyway, I received 3 different e-mails about the frig. They all sound kind of alike to me. What do you think? I went ahead and replied, just in case one of them is not a scam. I didn't give my personal information though. The way they type/talk they all kind of seem foreign to me (not that I have a problem with that). At work we ALWAYS get e-mails about buying swimming pool heaters over the internet. They are always foreign and it's a major scam! One scam, I suspected was a scam, the CC was denied, so I told the guy it was denied. He ended up giving me over 10 CC #'s! I never ran them, but I know they were all stolen. I finally had to tell him I know they're all stolen...that was the only reason he didn't give me more #'s. Yes, we reported it to the police Dept. Now, I'm not taking CC...I just want input! Thanks!!!
