<div class="bbWrapper">I have my old Ferrari Wheels on sale on craigslist so of course there are going to be scammers out there. I thought I'd post this one I got today.<br />
<br />
I actually emailed once with this buyer a few days ago. I could tell he was a scammer immediately because he's an idiot.<br />
<br />
First he said that he had to work and couldn't come see them. Which would imply that he lived nearby. Then he said he needed them shipped someone where.<br />
<br />
Second, my price includes free shipping, but he insists on paying for it. What a nice guy!<br />
<br />
If you look at the emails below, the names keep changing as do the address locations. I also never get an actual address to ship the wheels to.<br />
<br />
<br />
EMAIL 1<br />

I was just about to make the payment when i had this little problem with the picking up. I got an email from my agent, He said he won't come and pick it up unless i pay him the agent commission fee first in order to be able to schedule a pick up time. So i have to ask you to help me with the pick up fees, i will include the $900.00usd they charged to pick them up (1st class Service) to the payments i will send through PayPal. After i have made the payments and it has been confirmed by PayPal. I will need you to help me send the $900.00usd to my pick up agent through Western Union Money Transfer. The western union money transfer can be made at a post office near to you and there is always a western union agent in most post offices or online at <a href="http://www.westernunion.com/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="noopener">www.westernunion.com</a> .
