They are not always easy to spot. I have been using ebay for years, can't tell you what I have spent on there. I bought a benz for 60K a few years ago on there. That was scarey! 3 months ago I bought a van for my wife on there from a legit dealer in Texas. They had over 400 feedbacks all positive. I sent the check down and they cashed it. I started feeling bad about it after 3 days and called. No answer. This went on a week. I finally got the owner. She said they were in detailing it and it would ship the next day. She was going to call with the driver. I started calling the next day and didn't get a hold of them for over a week.

To make a long story short, they decided with me and 6 others that they could make more money if they just listed bogus vehicles. They thought noone would come after them. They underestimated me and didn't believe me when I said the FBI was going to knock on their door in 3 days.

They had a legit business. I checked them out, even called the local police there and talked to an officer who knew them well and told me a lot about them.

Luckilly, I got paid back, they thought I would stop the FBI stuff I started. They are now totally out of business and in a heck of a lot of trouble.

You have to be very carefull. Its better to just go pick it up or buy local sometimes.

Sux that the world is coming to this.

The world hasn't come to this. People have come to this. They see the white lies pressed by wall street and enron and say "if them why not me". The shame of all is that our system lets people get "away" with those things. Like Bernie and the money. Why did he not get caught sooner ? He was buying others off. It's a shame that people are like this. But it's been going on for years. It's not new. They don't call it a Ponzi scheme for nothing. Mr Ponzi invented it how long ago ? 100, 200 years ? That's the real shame. That it continues and gets worse. And as there continues to be more people on the planet there will be more of it even. It's up to everyone to be "honest". Companies are made up of people. People keep it honest.
Too bad about Walker Cronkite. He was a "honest" respected news person. Who do we have now ?
We see these scammers on Craigslist regularly here. It's always the same great deal with a odd ball number. Always is that you can't see it or touch it. And you'll never get a serial number to verify ownership. And a Western Union money gram is involved. It's simple. Just flag them and continue on. Craigslist makes the people empowered to keep them honest. As for all the website scams it's pretty simple too. You can check a url for "ownership" on the registered domain name list. They even have phone number contacts. Find one and call it. See if it's real. Also, when doing searches on google you can see the scams. They usually end the URL in something out of the country like .uk or .jpn or anything other than .com (commercial).
