Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.

I received several scam emails via buysell.com. The email headers are not useful because the messages are relayed through buysell. Unfortunately, the IP address of the "buyer" is not provided by buysell.

Although there are not many clues in the message to indicate that this is a scammer ("advert" jumped out at me, as did punctuation), I do know that this is a scammer.

He is still at it. I received an inquiry about another vehicle. Everything is identical to the last time.

I just got an inquiry from this guy today - I'm selling tires.

He said: "Is this advert still available for sale?kindly let me know your last selling price."

I had a scammer do this to me a couple of years ago with other tires. I think the give away is the fact they ask for a price, but you've already got the price in the ad.
