A buddy of mine is looking for a 51 series Detroit. A few weeks ago he was contacted by a guy that said he had one for sale. The guy was very knowledgeable about the engines, what they were used in, etc. In other words, there were no red flags, nor real reason to doubt his sincerity.
So, my buddy sent the guy a $200 check, through the mail, as a deposit, as agreed. When the engine didn't show up as promised, he tried calling the guy, but never got an answer. After several attempts he started getting suspicious and researching the two numbers he had for the guy.
I don't have a name, but think he said he found one of the numbers on here, where others had been scammed too.
Longer story short my buddy isn't the kind of guy who likes to be jerked around.
Given the check was sent through the mail, the guy is now guilty of mail fraud, on top of his little $200 scam, and now has a felony warrant out for his arrest.
On the subject of scams, we all know Craigslist is a known haunt for them. With that in mind, I've been looking for an enclosed trailer. I've seen so many of them listed using the same pics, but different cities, contact info, etc, it's scary.
In other words, keep your eyes out when looking to buy, or sell, and if you do happen to get taken, fight back.....
