Long story. Two years ago I saw an F550 for sale for $12500 on Craig's list. Called the guy and set up time and went down to look at it. Arrive at his house and discover he is a gypsy rollback operator and he bought truck online from auction in Virginia. He said the frame is two feet short for the bed he wants to put on it. He shows me paperwork and temporary tag information, all receipts have $11000 as price and he just wants to get his money out of it. We test drive and I'm satisfied, he said he will get it inspected the next day and will deliver to my place within 48 hours. We agree on $11500, I give him check for $500 deposit, he writes up receipt with vin, tag number, sale price, deposit amount, check number, date of delivery and location where to deliver, we both sign and I leave. Three days later no truck, I call him, he said he hasn't forgotten me and needs a day or two to get items on inspection report fixed before he delivers it to me. I agree. A week later I call him again and his wife answers phone and tells me he sold it for $11000 cash the same day I was there to a buddy of his. That night he calls and tells me truck was impounded at inspection station and he needs $2500 to make things right. I tell him I want truck within 48 hrs or I'll get a lawyer. Check for deposit has been cashed and cleared. He tells me to screw my self I can't bully him. I tell him, "deliver truck", we have a sales contract. He tells me deal is off, admits he cashed check and will leave cash with his wife for me to come and get it. I go down to get cash and he is gone, house is empty and for rent sign on front lawn, I call number on For Rent sign, the people renting house are owners and say house has been empty for months and that they had to evict a squatter that had been there. I contacted County police and they can't give me info on who or where the squatters went. I try calling cell phone and numbers on his rollback and all are disconnected. A month later I see truck for sale on Craig's list. I call guy up and it's in a different county and $22500, I go up to see it and it's the same vin, I still have receipt for truck with vin. This guy is a small dealer and I showed him the receipt and he laughed. It seems the truck was being transported to him by this third party hauler. I call cops show them my receipt and they go to dealer and tell him he can't sell truck because of fraud. Several days later the dealer sold the truck at auction in Manheim Pa and police told me I was out of luck. $500 lesson learned, beware of Craig's List and great deals.
