Nice ad...I wouldn't take the chance but hey wierder things have happened.

[frenchy]

It's probably an xj with a blown tranny.
I think he's asking too much 

[Hi Lo Silver]

Probably been pretty thorough about wiping finger prints off too.

Stinks to high heaven. I don't know if it's insurance fraud, previous crime, or just a heap. There's got to be a good reason...especially with "keys in the ignition".

I wouldn't touch it with Trevor's...you get the picture.

I am thinking the wife just met the girl frond and he is in the patch for another 2 weeks.

Add is gone.

Kijji is full of scam adds. You email the seller and you get some BS story about how the car is in some other city but was last registered in AB.  Send me your info so I can send you an E-bay online purchase transaction(no such thing) its ok, E-bay guarentees your purchase.......   Right.....

 You enter into a "transaction", get a bogus e-mail from ebay, send the money, and thats the last you hear or see from them(or your money).

Sometimes I email with them just for fun just to screw with them. You should see how mad they get we you keep asking stupid questions and don't send your info.

Easiest way to tell is to enter the first line of the description into Google, encased in quotes. If you turn up the same add in multiple cities, its a scam. I noticed they are even starting to use the paid add feature of Kijji as well.

Wouldn't the paid ad, give kijiji a credit card number to forward to the police to track the dickbin down.

[cLAY]

Stolen card?

[esi]

Either way they should aleast be able to track it to an IP address

Most of them come from Nigeria and overseas. The responses I get back have very poor English. They cut/paste adds from e-bay and  other kijji sites. When its -20c out and the add has palm trees in it, you know something is wrong.

These guys are so rampant its unbelievable, there are probalby over 50 adds a day posted just to the Kijji Calgary site alone. They also try to scam you when you sell stuff. They send a response agreeing to buy your car for sale asking you to ship it. After you agreee they send a bogus check with a few extra thousand on it for shipping fees that you are supposed to send on to a shipping company. You cash their check, forward the funds and 5-6 days later your bank calls saying the check you cashed is no good but by then the money you forwarded is gone and you are out the money.

I say the next time someone posts a funny add without pasting it here, we ban him for a week.
