1970 Super Bird Clone Scam on Toronto Craigslist

Here's a transcript of messages - he's the red. Start at the bottom and read up. Note the "location" in the ad was Clinton, Ontario but he then tells me its in Aylmer. Interestingly enough that's only abot 45 minutes from me - but we got dumped on last night so I ain't doin' back roads today. The interesting thing is valid email addresses AND phone number AND it looks like his real name actually got added to one of the messages !! Anyhow, I didn't send any money and I'm supposedly "on the way" with no communication for at least two hours. He has since sent me an email saying they checked but no transfer was received and this is valid with the way e-transfers work in Canada. But I didn't send any money - I can always claim I made a typo !! At this stage I do have the option to actually drive there and check things out. I'm tempted !!!


Nothing was sent he called interact

$$ sent. I'm leaving the house now. Be there around 4. See you there. Phone's dead - will have to charge on the way.

Yeah

So if I look up J Chapman in Aylmer, Ontario it'll show his address on Pine St.,

right?

I sent you my brother's its auto deposit and its his palce wher the car is

Send it to [email protected]



E-transfer is kicking back that email address. What bank do you deal with?

Not true – I’m testing the waters here

Need to know what you're doing

I am in Ontario also
Any scammer can give you a real address
They just look on a map and pick one

My sister lives in Guelph and had 3 different people show up at her house one day looking for the car they had sent the money for
She had no idea what the first guy was talking about untill two more showed up
To say the least they were not happy at all and tried to say she was the one doing the scamming

Maybe David DOES own it.
I'm betting the scammer is somebody else, using, David's name, and,has a way to cash a check
Yes that's how they do it. Steal + post pictures, accept monetary transfers as deposits or down payments. No need to worry about full money etc
