I placed an ad on the Minneapolis Craigslist looking for some XCR decals and it seems that there is an abundance of old Polaris decal kits in England of all places! Strangely enough though they don't yet have cameras as no one can produce any pictures or part numbers of the kits. as anyone else had a rash of scammers after posting an ad on Craigslist?

Every time I put something on there I get all kinds of e-mails.
(How to make cash at home) If I thought that was feasible, I wouldn't be working.
(Do you want to be bigger) If I wanted it bigger, I'd be contacting you!!!
Too many of them!!
^^thats why I put phone no. only..........
And they have the nerve to text me these things.

i dont say phone only but once when i was selling my dads old touring sled for him theres an email saying "hi i live in europe but my wife lives in virginia and she told me to buy here a 2004 poloaris edge touring 600 for her so that she can use it. Can you send it to (then he gave me and adress) and i will send a check in the mail."
and thats all he said. another time i was selling a bike and the called and said he would come over soon then like 3 hours later i had to go somewhere so i called him and he said he never talked to me before. Even though it was the same voice and the same number. You gotta be careful ive also seen an ad saying he wants a young girl under 12 to come on a motorcycle ride with him. He claimed he was a cop.

Apparently, you can make over $6500 a month by just going to a link and taking surveys!
Or 6500 through google
Quote Hello, I saw your email on Craigslist.
I just wanted to let you know how my co-worker was laid off recently because of the economy recently. However, he learned of a a way to make money online from home after reading an online news article
He is earning 6,500 dollars every single month now working online at home with Google.
Just take a look at the online article: http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddznbsd3_19gq94j5gv
A good number people such as yourself have changed their lives after giving it a try, and I am sure you can benefit from it.
That's all for now.

What are you talking about, google.com is the original google, google.ca is google canada. Haha. .com = commercial. .ca = canada.
I had some guy email me about my MXZ 500 when it was for sale, and I wrote cash only, no checks, the guy asked for my address so he could buy it cash, no negotiations. Great I said, and gave him my address. Didn't hear anything for a month. Something came in the mail! A $7,700 escrow written out to me. We called the bank it was from, and it confirmed, a definite bank in Florida. Well, we gave them the check number, and it was nonexistent.

Yeah I got a couple of funky ones when I listed my little pocket bikes. They both read something like, "Hey, I'm sorry about last night. Let's talk it over."  I got two of them and one was from a guy.

I just listed my old ZR580 on my local craigslist, it's amazing the number of people in Africa and Nigeria who have been searching for a 97 ZR. As the internet age grows, I'm resorting back to selling my stuff on the front lawn.

Last week there was a sled listed unbelievably cheap. I thought to good to be true, but
went for it anyway. The guy had a phone no. on the post and said he is up all night and to call anytime. Well it was listed just after midnight and I left a message at 5 in the
morning. No call, so I tried again at about 10 am and the phone was out of service by then.
My theory is that someone pissed him off, so he listed their phone no. and BS story just
so people would call him all night.
downright mean, but clever
there are constantly cars for sale in the Michigan lists that have palm trees in the
photo. I can't believe people fall for this stuff. As I stated before if I sell something
its
phone no. only and I have no troubles.......then again I don't waste my time with text
messages.

Well it was a big deal and he was at this kids house who's mom was a probation officer and she almost called the cops. It was really scary and my parents almost killed me.
